Hi the conclusion that you came up with at as to how to use the retinol almost at the end is so correct. Just a tiny tiny bit is enough let the natural oil from your skin help the cream across your face what am trying to say is just rub a tiny bit let it relax and as your face builts up its natural oil and moisture then you use your finger tips and massage the cream into the face. One thing also to be very aware of and l have never heard anyone say this before is that be very careful of the heat while cooking you know how while cooking we like to actually put our face close to our pots or pan to look at our food qhile stiring this heat and steam can cause the skin to burn and get irrited while using this cream and other cream also. So be mindful of this and yes thanks for the info hope mine was helpful and take care bye.❤

OMG yes!! The cooking! I thought I noticed more tingling after cooking when I was applying it in the morning. Makes a lot of sense. I'm back on it again since yesterday and cautiously looking forward to how it will turn out. Thanks again for your advice.❤

Follow Dr. Shereen Idriss. I just started using retinol also, but I use the L’Oréal levitalift pure retinol only at night. Dr. Idriss gives a list of good retinoids, retinols, and retinals, and give advice on how to use them.

Thanks for the suggestion! I've restarted it now and looking forward to seeing where it goes. If it ends up being too much I might switch to a retinal. What do you use for your morning skincare?

@@hellotinashe I double cleanse. First with Madagascar Centella light cleansing oil, followed by the second cleanse with Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam. I then apply Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid exfoliate on and around the nose area to minimize sebaceous filaments. To the rest of my face (except around the mouth area) I apply 10%vitamin C from timeless skincare. For my moisturizer I use the Cetaphil moisturizing lotion. At the very end I use SPF50 by Beauty of Joseon all over my face. Twice per week I cleanse my face with Kate Somerville Eradikate daily foaming cleanser.
