Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi everyone,So I've been using TO's Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion for a while now, since about January. I really like what it's done for my acne and overall skin texture, but it didn't clear up a lot of the break outs on my chin nor did it help much with the wrinkle between my brow. Since I'm more than halfway done with it, I decided to order the Granactive Retinoid 5%. However, I didn't realize that this formulation comes in squalane and isn't like the emulsion.I tried the 5% last night and I found that the texture was a little gritty but it absorbed fairly easily, although not as easily as the 2% emulsion. I have a few questions about both products:1) what differences did you notice between the 2% and the 5%? I'm not sure what to expect since it's an oil based serum. While I love the 2%, I feel like I could use a stronger concentration to get rid of some of the more stubborn closed comedones that haven't budged.2) When should I apply the 5% serum? I usually apply the emulsion right after cleansing, but since the 5% is an oil and the directions say to apply after water based products I'm not sure when to apply it for the best results. My current routine is: oil cleanser, face cleanser, retinoid emulsion, TO alpha arbutin, hyaluronic serum, clinique moisturizing gel, clinique moisture surge. I think the best time to apply it would be right after my hyaluronic serum?Please let me know your thoughts if you've tried both serums. Thanks in advance!
