I'm in my early 30s now and I'm trying to add retinol to my routine

I’d recommend using retinal instead as it works faster. Retinol needs to turn into retinal anyway

retinal is better than retinol. works 11x faster and is less irritating! 💘 this is a great option!

K-secret that was recommended before and also retinol from Dr.G

If you want a cheap option try Q+A retinol - it’s in most supermarkets and works just aswell as other retinols

These are 3 of the best ones I’ve used. Gentle, effective, and hydrating. So far I haven’t gotten any irritation, peeling, or purging from these. But still remember to hydrate well, hold off on actives until your skin becomes accustomed, and be sure to use a sunscreen daily.
