* Disclaimer * – Retinol can have side effects, but you can lessen them by picking the right type for your skin and using it correctly. Start with a small amount in your skincare routine and increase it gradually as your skin gets used to it. People often start using retinol in their thirties.
For Beginners use
The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane
The Ordinary is really good, I use a number of stuff and my skin is at it’s best. Hardly any acne, the texture of my skin feels so good, fine lines and scarring is fading to the point I wear less foundation. Make up on my skin looks 10x better. I feel comfortable without makeup and taking pictures too.
Plus it’s cheap which is fantastic. I was surprised how good this brand is for the price. – Via Fellow Redditors
