1. DESCRIPTION OF GRANACTIVE RETINOID
Granactive Retinoid is a modern anti-aging active ingredient that belongs to the retinoid family. Unlike traditional retinol, it is characterized by excellent skin tolerance combined with high efficacy. Granactive Retinoid is a stable form of hydroxypinacolone retinoate (HPR) that was developed to significantly reduce the typical side effects of conventional retinoids, such as redness, dryness, or flaking.
Granactive Retinoid is considered an innovative advancement in retinol technology: It binds directly to retinoid receptors in the skin without needing to be converted into retinoic acid. As a result, it acts more quickly and effectively against the signs of skin aging.
