when to start retinol

I’m 20 years old now and I’m thinking of starting this retinol. I’m a complete newbie to retinol and it’ll be my first time using it. I heard it’s gentle but is it good for my acne and oily prone skin? And how often should I use it? Like every other night? Please tell me what to do ☺️

Retinol is great. This is a good starter retinol. It is gentle and I’ve heard people with that skin type love it. I’d start off with 1-2x a week and then slowly work your way up to 2-3x a week and then if you want to use it every night after that then that’s fine too. Or you could start off with every other night if you wanted to. If you do that, I’d do the sandwich method and do “moisturizer, retinol, moisturizer”. Once you’ve used that retinol for awhile you can move on to a different brand and/or a different/higher percentage.

so after my cleansing, I use this first? I use HA(hyaluronic acid) so do I use the HA first then this? and then moisturizer?

start with using once or twice a week first, use it on completely dry skin & if ur skin feels dry u may try the sandwich method which is moisturiser, retinol , moisturiser 😊
