I’m using SomeByMi Retinol which is good for beginners since it has the gentler alternative (bakuchiol?) which is great for sensitive skin ❤️Anyone wants to follow each other my IG & TT account username are @caramelheys?

To see the results of retinol you have to wait several weeks, that product is very good. I am using the 0.1 cream and I love it.

I use prescription strength. If you get your doctor to prescribe you tretinoin for adult acne most insurances will cover it. Or at least a big portion of the price. I live in the United States and even if you don't have insurance a huge tube of tretinoin is only around $30 or so I think so it's very affordable full price.

It takes months to see improvement on retinol. It’s faster with tretinoin, but that also means it can cause adverse reactions. Keep at it and be consistent for the best results. Also be sure to use spf, and adding a Vitamin C product might be something to consider if you don’t use one already.
