I didn’t try that many retinol yet. This is my third one. I’ve tried 2 version from The Ordinary and so far this is the gentlest one. You know that we only need a pea size of each retinol usage to avoid irritation? But sometimes when I applied skincare in a dark room, I tend to pump more than a pea size. But so far I didn’t get any irritation or dryness yet (don’t be like me) I don’t experience any purging effect and I do notice the difference after 2 months of consistent usage.
The thing with retinol usage - all you need is consistency, lots of sunscreen and PATIENCE 🥲 Some people might experience good result after 2-3 weeks but some need longer time. I do notice that my acne subsides so much, my pores looks smaller, the size of my sebaceous fillament on my nose also improves significantly and overall texture - so much better. Especially around nose and cheeks area. The texture is bright yellow liquid but it didn’t stain my face.
I really enjoy using this and I will repurchase after finished this one. It may take some time but it works but the important thing is because it didn’t irritate my skin 🥲 So is Retinol/ Retinoic Acid really is magic in our skincare routine? You decide it yourself :)
