How to Finish Retinol in 3 Months?

Hi guys! You read it right! This is the first time I bought Retinol product from the Ordinary. Haven't use it tho πŸ˜† But I just realize this product only has 3 months after opening it. There is no way I could finish it all of them within 3 months. Can I use it on my back and chest? Since I'm suffering from body acne too. Do you guys have any sugesstion how to maximize the usage of product? πŸ€”

My understanding is that the concentration just goes down so you should still be able to use it. It might go down to half but that is still pretty decent. Your product says .2 but it’s actually 10x stronger than an hpr retinol...

I’m interested too since I just started using that product. And so far, I’ve only used a few drops and it’s nearly my 3rd week using it. πŸ˜‚ I did see a doctor from insta suggesting using it on dark armpits to help lighten it. Around 3x a week.

I use it on my hands and my neck and also recruited my mom to use it as well lol! Honestly I've been using past 3 months already with no issues. One of the reasons why I prefer using differin now. TO retinols are too much of a hassle to store in the fridge and use up in 3 months. πŸ˜… But yes you can apply it anywhere! Just keep in mind that you'll need to sunscreen up on those areas that you apply it on if they're going to be exposed to the sun!

Ikr! I wanted to recuit my mom too, but she's really not into skincare 🀣 I bought this Retinol from TO, because it was the cheapest option I had for first timer πŸ˜† Noted! I'll try to use on other area and put on sunscreen. Thank you!
