Retinol creams.

What do you recommend? Do you have any reactions? I was looking to purchase an "It" retinol I saw on QVC, but read the reviews, and most were saying they felt like their skin was red and felt a burning sensation.
Not looking to break the bank.

Re: Retinol creams.

I bought the Loreal Derm Intensives Night Serum with Retinol.
With all Retinols- at least ones that work and have enough of the active ingredient- you will get a little skin irritation. That's normal and it's just your skin getting used to it. It makes your skin turn over faster and in turn rebuild new skin so it's kind of like you are purging at first.

The best thing to do is really follow the instructions on the box- don't go too fast. I think the box says 2 times a week for the first week- then if your skin is ok with that- go to every other night. Dial it back if you get too much irritation and work your way up if needed.

I have pretty sensitive skin and only noticed a little irritation and a few break outs as I purged.
Like all of a sudden my foundation burned a little when I put it on, when it never bothered me before. But that only lasted for a little bit

Follow up with a nice thick night cream to avoid dryness.

And sunscreen is super important when using Retinol too

They said the biggest issue is people quit using it when they get a little irritation or redness- and you kind of just have to suck it up. Your skin might look a little rough for a bit, but it will end up better.
Unless you have some major reaction and are super red, peeling, burning etc- you should just dial it back for a few nights but keep up with it.

Oh no!!! VB is just going to use this saying how it's proof that you are trying to be her!!!! And her fellow Trump cult followers will back her up! And then she is going to say because of her age and experience she knows more that anyone in the whole wide world! Her eighth grade education is paramount to EVERYTHING.
