This retinol is great but very strong! Definitely only start with once a week and see how your skin goes. Maybe even start with the buffet method, so apply all your skin care and 30 minutes later apply the retinol on top of your moisturiser. This just helps to reduce the risk of irritation as your skin adjusts.
I absolutely love this retinol but it made my skin peel for a solid month before my skin adjusted and I could use it more than once a week. Maybe think of removing things like chemical exfoliants while your skin adjusts as using them could cause a damaged skin barrier. And lots of hydrating products!

I would start with lower percentage until my skin gets accostumed to it, and don't use exfoliating products in the same routine with retinol.

I love this retinol! my skin has never been so glowy. I personally didn’t have any irritation but I’ve built up my retinol tolerance by starting with a lower percentage. You could use Vaseline as a buffer on the corner of yours eyes, nose and mouth and under your eyes since those areas are super sensitive. Try the sandwich method - moisturiser > retinol > moisturiser to help minimise irritation. Starting with using it once a week is a good idea. Avoid exfoliants when using it, keep your routine minimal and of course sunscreen in the daytime!
