Minimalist Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion | Anti-Aging for Sensitive Skin

Section 1: About the Product

The Minimalist Granactive Retinoid 2% is designed to be the “smart” alternative to traditional Retinol. Many people avoid anti-aging products because of the “Retinol uglies”—the purging, peeling, and redness that comes with starting Vitamin A. This formula solves that problem completely.

It uses Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR), a novel member of the retinoid family that binds directly to the skin’s retinoid receptors without needing to be converted by the skin’s metabolism first. This results in faster absorption and effective anti-aging action with significantly lower risk of irritation. Formulated in a hydrating, creamy emulsion base (rather than a heavy oil), it absorbs beautifully into the skin, making it comfortable for nightly use even for those with acne-prone or sensitive skin.

Section 2: Key Benefits & Purpose

High-performance anti-aging minus the side effects.

• Potent Anti-Aging: Stimulates cell turnover and collagen production to visible reduce the depth of fine lines and wrinkles.

• Zero to Low Irritation: Unlike Retinol and Tretinoin, Granactive Retinoid is dermatologically verified to be far gentler, causing little to no stinging or redness.

• Prevents Premature Aging: ideal for those in their mid-20s looking to start “preventative aging” routines to delay the onset of wrinkles.

• Improves Skin Texture: gently exfoliates at a cellular level to smooth out rough texture and bumps.

• Hydrating Emulsion: The milky texture provides moisture alongside treatment, preventing the dryness usually associated with retinoids.

• Premium Sourcing: The core active ingredient is sourced directly from Grant Industries, USA, a global leader in skincare innovation.

Section 3: Key Ingredients: The Science Inside

A clean, scientifically advanced formula focused on stability and efficacy.

Key Ingredient Breakdown:

• Granactive Retinoid (2%): A complex of Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR). It combats skin aging and acne by binding directly to retinoid receptors in the skin cells.

• Dimethyl Isosorbide (DMI): A penetration enhancer that ensures the retinoid reaches the deeper layers of the skin where collagen is formed, rather than sitting on the surface.

• Amino Acids: Helps to repair the skin barrier and maintain hydration.

• Hyaluronic Acid: Draws moisture into the skin to keep it plump and cushion the effects of the active ingredients.

Full Ingredient List:

Aqua, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Ethoxydiglycol, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Arachidyl Alcohol, Behenyl Alcohol, Arachidyl Glucoside, Tocopherol, Acetyl Glucosamine, Xanthan Gum, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Disodium EDTA.

Section 4: How to Apply

1. Step 1: Cleanse your face and pat dry. Ensure skin is completely dry before application.

2. Step 2: Apply a pea-sized amount to your face and neck.

3. Step 3: Follow up with a moisturizer (and facial oil if you have dry skin) to lock it in.

4. Step 4: Start Slow: Apply 2-3 times a week initially, gradually increasing to every night as your skin adjusts.

Important:

• Use PM Only (Night Routine).

• Sunscreen is mandatory the next morning, as retinoids can increase sun sensitivity.

• Do not use with Vitamin C or AHAs/BHAs in the same routine.
