Help! Here are my conditions rn :( A. I do use retinol and I chose Cerave resurfacing retinol as my beginner retinol B. I had pimples before but after retinol, it worsen C. I only get new pimples on my cheeks where I usually break out. Other than my cheeks, my skin is clear even though I apply retinol all over my face C. It's been 3 months now and I still get whiteheads and pimples :(( I'm concerned because my conditions suggest both purging and breaking out/reaction. What do I do?

I always clean my face first with a gentle cleanser then i apply hyaluronic acid serum on my face as it helps to moisturize our skin, then i apply retinol following up with a hydrating moisturizer. Next day i follow my skincare routine with sunscreen. And i do not use salicylic acid or vit C products.. i use them on alternative days. I hope I'm doing it correctly. I would be grateful if you reply, thank you!

[@malavikar1065]

So do you let the hyaluronic acid to absorb completely before applying retinol?

[@sayantaneebhowmick]

@@malavikar1065 yes, because you don't wanna jumbled up the products. Also always remember to damp your face first and then use hyaluronic acid serum or cream. Otherwise it'll strip the hydration from your face.

You can use acid in the morning. Basically use them at opposite times, but you can definitely put you vitamins C on in the morning, it works better.

[@MatMat-qi2rd]

I apply retinoid on the undereye area because that's where my skin needs the most. I didn't get the rubbing part: aren't we supposed to massage it onto the skin?😮

[@jamaruperi5715]

Pat it don't massage it.

[@Hypatia52]

WTH? Of course, I'm not going to put it near mucous membranes (ouch). But I'm trying to get rid of wrinkles and sebaceous filaments. I'm using Adapalene, not Retinol, but still--what good is a wrinkle cream if you can't put it on wrinkles? You know--like around the mouth, nasolabial folds? Crow's feet?

[@Snow_0804]

Exactly, I spread it around my eyes and mouth anyway.

[@subratanandy2142]

That's quite alright. It's more about not getting inside the eye pr mouth.

[@tammyd4099]

I use tretinoin over all my face. I don't have any irritation even when applied in the corners of the nose, eyes and mouth but I only apply it on the upper eye lid not the actual lid.

[@mltr29]

With all due respect, other dermatologists have said it is perfectly fine to use retinal (even stronger than retinol) and ascorbic acid together. It's all about understanding your own skin and make sure to patch test. And I always apply ascorbic acid 15% on slightly damp skin with great results.

[@sydillim380]

Retinol is a powerful skincare ingredient, but it's also one that needs to be used correctly to avoid potential issues. Here are some common mistakes to avoid when using retinol: 1. Starting with a high concentration: If you're new to retinol, it's best to start with a lower concentration and gradually increase as your skin builds tolerance. Starting with a high concentration can cause irritation. 2. Using too much: A pea-sized amount of retinol is enough for your entire face. Using too much can lead to dryness and irritation. 3. Not moisturizing: Retinol can be drying, so it's important to follow up with a moisturizer. This can help counteract the drying effects and keep your skin hydrated. 4. Using it too often: Start by using retinol once or twice a week and gradually increase as your skin gets used to it. Using it too often can cause redness, peeling, and sensitivity. 5. Skipping sunscreen: Retinol can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. It's crucial to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day to protect your skin. 6. Applying it on damp skin: Applying retinol on damp skin can cause it to absorb more quickly, leading to irritation. Always apply it to dry skin. 7. Using it with other potent active ingredients: Using retinol with other potent active ingredients like vitamin C, benzoyl peroxide, or AHAs/BHAs can cause irritation. It's best to use these ingredients at different times of the day or on alternate days. Remember, everyone's skin is different, so what works for one person might not work for another. Always listen to your skin and adjust your routine as needed.

[@paulbrothers4495]

You most certainly can use it under your eyes. Being that the area around the eyes falls prey to wrinkles and crows feet, Friedman says you "absolutely can" apply retinol under and around the eye. However, he cautions us to be mindful of applying retinol in this area, "as the skin is thin here; its ability to absorb and do its thing is greater and therefore the potential for irritation is slightly greater." So if you want to treat the eye area, be sure to "take the proper precautions-moisturizer to damp skin and use sun protection."
