## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi the title says 5% but the bottle shown in the picture says 2%.  Can you confirm which it is please as i want the 5%.  Thanks Di**
A: You can get both 5% and 2%. I personally got 5% which is strong and does the job. Leaves skin clear and smooth.

**Q: Hi, the label says 5% Retinoids but in the small print below it says 0.5%.  Could you please explain this?**
A: 0.5% is five percent otherwise it would be fifty percent

**Q: Will anti-aging face creams with spf 30 and uv protection be ok to use with this. normal suncream can be very drying. thanks**
A: Yes. You differently need to use protection from the sun with this. Don't use this product in summer, or if you know that you will be in the sun. It can cause bad skin damage. So be careful.

**Q: I noticed dark particles in the product that I did not see when I first purchased it. It is almost like it has very fine dark grey or black particles.**
A: You don’t say what your question is. If it’s did mine also have black bits in it…. The answer is, I don’t remember that, so probably not.

*by L***W on 28 April 2019*

Good replacement for retina A cream. I am 61 and have been using retin A cream for 30 years and as a result, very few wrinkles, and it has faded sun spots and freckles. It is a miracle cream and I believe is the only cream you can buy that can works biochemically to smooth marks and lines on face. It started in the early 1980s as a means to end acne and they discovered that it actually had an effect on wrinkles in the areas where the acne was presiding. But the basic retin A cream does dry your skin out, and it must be used in just the right way by adding a moisturiser on to or buying Renova, which in the UK can cost up to £300. This product however, is much more accessible cost wise. It has the five percent retinoid and mixed with squalene, give a very good smooth application without drying out the skin. I use it at night and after about a week, already I notice a difference. It is an excellent solution to using the retin A cream which is only available through dematologists and is very expensive, less than renova but still up£90. In the Middle East you can buy it over the counter for 7£ only, I get my friends to bring it over.But this is no longer necessary as this great product, Granactive, is now available in this country. Buy and you will see s huge difference in your skin, less wrinkles, more glow, and less age spots. I love it
