Yes the purge is real. Can happen with all retinoids. It's your skin adjusting to the quicker cell turnover

Yeap, I had breakout for about 2 weeks first time using retinol. After that everything got back to normal. Just bare with the purge, I think you’ll be fine.

Very normal and although it may not seem like it, its a good sign! Retinol speeds up cell turnover so everything comes to the surface faster. Hang in there, it's worth it!

Nope, I haven't experienced purging or breakouts while introducing retinol to my skin. By the way I'm using the ordinary retinol 0.5% in squalane. So far I love it. I haven't given other retinol products a try though.
