Not sure which retinol is right for you? Explore eight formulas for different experience levels, plus tips for adding retinol to your nighttime routine.
Your closing point is the one I repeat in consultations all winter: the biggest retinol mistake is assuming stronger means better. The skin in front of me that peeled itself into sensitivity on a 1% it bought in October is a whole genre at this point. A gentle formula used five nights a week beats the strong one gathering dust after two irritated tries, every single time. Consistency is the active ingredient nobody can sell you.
Absolutely agree, Zasha! Finding a formula your skin can tolerate and sticking with it makes such a difference. Thanks for sharing your experience and adding to the conversation!
