Retinol

Hello everyone!  I started using retinol for the first week. It makes my skin a little purging, but after that, my face turns normal again, and I notice my pores are larger than before. Is it okay? So should I stop using retinol?

Hmm your skin might be a little young to be using retinol, it could do more harm than good if your stin hasn't aged enough. How often are you using it? Maybe try to use it less per week and see what happens. Sometimes less is more, kinda like exfoliating

A few years back I read that you should only apply retinol around the outer parts of your face avoiding your nose, marionette lines and around the lips. Maybe avoiding your nose and pores might help with this.
