Retinoids are a class of compounds derived from Vitamin A that target signs of aging and textural irregularities. This creamy and hydrating formulation combines two forms of next-generation retinoid actives:

a) A 2% concentration of Granactive Retinoid, which is a complex of solubilized Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR). HPR is a non-prescription ester of all-trans direct retinoic acid that offers similar visible results as topical retinol, without the irritation associated with retinoids (including retinol).

b) A sustained-delivery form of retinol in a protective capsule system that supports both the delivery and the effect of Granactive Retinoid.

These technologies cannot be compared directly with retinol itself in terms of concentration because they include a different retinoid molecule, in a similar way that Retinol cannot be compared with Retinoic Acid in terms of concentration.
