Some mild peeling isn't uncommon in the adjustment period but it shouldn't be severe and/or last rop
longer. I would continue but no more than once or twice a week for the next weeks/month(s) and monitor your skin closely. Are you buffering/mixing wit

Don't worry, it shouldn't be permanent. My skin freaked out at menopause; on top of being ++
super sensitive as always, it got SO dry and dehydrated; I had bleeding cracks in my face. Took me the better part of two years to figure it out, but

Now that I’m 46 I completely get this. I would bet there have been people who tried>>
To tell you “you just haven’t tried the right product.” I’m going to stop everything while my skin heals. After that Idk. Retinoids and actives ha

My skin does the same sort of thing, but Vaseline doesn't agree with my skin ++
I have recs for lots of bland skincare products on my Notepad. DEFINITELY skip all actives (Vit C, niacinamide, etc) / retinoids for at least a few we

In principle, this. But my skin is sensitive and quite reactive so I buffer many of my actives and+

IMO, there is no point in using a retinol product if you're using tret. Only people who can't +++
tolerate tret or else maybe don't have the budget for it, need retinol. From everything I've read and heard, both tret and retinol are Vit A products
