“Many mistake a little bit of redness, irritation and flaking for having a bad reaction, but It’s just a sign that your skin is adjusting to having an abundant source of beneficial vitamin”. If you have an adverse reaction, “It’s often an indicator that you are using too much, too soon” – Retinol application should be phased in gradually, use twice a week for the first 2 weeks, every other night for the next 2 weeks, then every night.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
