I am official 28 today but havent start retinol

Why? I believe everyone has their own reason and hardship about their skin. My skin is sensitive and dehydrated. So I am choosing to use bakuchiol as alternative to retinol. My skin react to the product faster than expected especially active ingredient. I use to hate it at first. Luckily skincare nowadays is so wide, ingredient like retinol has alternative such as bakuchiol. Bakuchiol might slower than retinol, but it give the same result and same how it is working on skin.
