Hello! I’ve just started incorporating Cerave Resurfacing Retinol into my skincare routine - I started applying it once a week this month. This is the first retinol product I’ve ever tried. And I just want to know how often I should use it. Considering the fact that it’s not as potent as retin-A or the prescription retinoids, should I use it more often? I’ve been seeing other people use it 2-3x a week as a beginner. But I’m scared of purging and my skin is kind of on the dry side so I don’t want to risk it.

Anyway, I’m really curious about your thoughts and I’m here to learn more! Your comments would be greatly appreciated 💕

How often should I use retinol as a beginner?

Nothing bad to say about this product at all.

I’ve been using this for almost 3 years now. It’s so light and it absorbs quickly to the skin. It smells good too. My skin feels soft afterwards. Love this product!

Lightweight and absorbs really quickly. It has helped calm my skin and has aided in brightening the post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from my breakouts.

A little goes a long way. Very hydrating. Lightweight. Smells really good. Helped in brightening my eyes. I’ve been using it for 2 years now.

It has a tacky finish and sometimes it kinda feels sticky after use. But I don’t mind since overall, this is a great product!

I’ve been using this for 6 months now. 

I had the worst breakout of my life and TO’s niacinamide + zinc has saved me. It helped calm down my breakouts and visibly brighten the post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that has marked some areas of my face.
