Personally, I wouldn’t at your age. I’m 31 and just starting to get fine lines, and so I believe it is something I am going to incorporate shortly. At 21 your skin is young… the best anti-aging for you is SPF, SPF and SPF ☺️ but it’s completely a personal choice and up to you, but I wouldn’t personally.

You should actually start Retinol in your 20's and not wait until you have fine lines and it is way easier to prevent them then to get rid of them

I'm 23 and I am already seeing some aging signs like forehead fine lines and pockmarks on nose. I think age shouldn't stop us from starting retinols, I'd say "use it when you think you need it". (I haven't started but would like to start soon)

its not about what actives are good for your age, but what actives are suitable for the skin concerns you have.

each to their own. As I said, I wouldn’t. There is guidance for using late twenties and there is guidance using for early thirties, but 21 is too young IMO 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you think your skin needs it, use it immediately. The sooner the better. I suggest, do it slowly to introduce to the skin. so that the skin is not shocked. For example, initial use starts with 3 times a week to see how your skin reacts. If, you are sure your skin is ready, the intensity of its use is increased to 2 times a week. and so on, until your skin is ready to use retinol every day. Don't forget to wear sunscreen every day. And pay attention to the use of other active ingredients. 

yeah.. I was also thinking the same.. thanks for your suggestion

What are the skin concerns you want to treat? I’ve used retinol in my early twenties as a mild way to help prevent acne (as well as preventing aging) but I know it’s not for everyone. Happy to offer different actives suggestions for what results you’re looking for though 😊

your suggestion was really very helpful..thanks a lot

I’d recommend Hyaluronic acid (for hydration and plumping) and vitamin C (for brightening, lightening dark spots) in the morning, then a salicylic acid cleanser (cleanses deeper into the pores to prevent breakouts) and niacinamide (for regulating oil production, calming breakouts) at night, and using AHA + BHA 2 nights a week to exfoliate and prevent breakouts. I tagged some product suggestions (including my favorite moisturizer, just in case 😜), but I’m sure others have ideas too! Good luck 💕

I have acne prone skin and also have dark spots..my skin aslo looks dull..also i wanna prevent ageing cz my skin looks older than my age..so I'm tryna find proper actives to get a healthier and younger looking skin

so what should I use as skincare products?

Niacinamide,  vit c you can incorporate of less percentage. focus should be on sunscreen application and moisturizer mostly
