Are you able to tell me the ingredients? Wondering if it's natural.

Hi Kate, firstly as of late August 2017, The Ordinary's Advanced Retinoid 2% has been renamed to Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion. The ingredients are: Aqua (Water), Glycerin, Ethyl Linoleate, Propanediol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Cetearyl Isononanoate, Bisabolol, Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, Retinol, Tasmannia Lanceolata Fruit/Leaf Extract, Inulin Lauryl Carbamate, Glyceryl Stearate, Ceteareth-12, Ceteareth-20, Cetearyl Alcohol, Carrageenan, Xanthan gum, Acacia Senegal Gum, Cetyl Palmitate, Sucrose Laurate, Polysorbate 20, Isoceteth-20, Behentrimonium Chloride, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Disodium EDTA, Dehydroacetic Acid, Benzoic Acid, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin. pH 5.00-6.00 water-free alcohol-free oil-free silicone-free nut-free vegan gluten-free soy-free cruelty-free Hope this helps

Is this a genuine product? Can it be proven it’s real?

my arrived from china amd i experienced biggest allergic reaction ever. i still have skin pigmentation left from it after 2 months. i truly believe this is fake. I have other The Ordinary products and comparing the packaging I cam tell small differences like smaller print, colours ect. trying to get my money back for months now

How do you put on your face ? And do you cover your whole face with it ? Or just where you have dark spots etc?

I put a few drops in my hand and just lightly run or tap it all over my face. Avoiding eyes

Does this get rid of pigmentation on the forehead and upper lip?

Yes, this item will reduce the pigmentation. but another product also from the same company will be suitable for pigmentation, https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07CK7BMC4
