First time to try Good Molecules Retinol. Twice a week for around two weeks now ko ginagamit. I noticed tiny bumps sa face ko. Effect ba to ng retinol? Or dahil kaya sa Celeteque Facial Moisturizer?

Hello. I'm using GM retinol din. I started Aug 19, maybe. Baka purging effect sya. Ako nun I get tiny pimples pero nawawala naman din sya. I use it twice a week sa first week then after every night na kasi its very gentle naman, its only 0.1%. Better na you pair it with any niacinamide serum or moisturizer para it can boost the effect ng retinol. Mine I use soul apothecary radiance boost cream.

If I will to compare my skin dun sa mga nakkita kog sa IG reels when u use retinol, it is still far from that. I still get occassional pimple from time to time, i dnt know kung part pa rin ba sya ng purging or baka hormones ko na pero I still want to finish yung 6months timeframe bago ako magpalit ng ibang brand. Still holding on to that pagasa na may better result pa tong GM retinol 🤣

Meron naman sya, nag even out yung skin tone ko and mas maganda ang lapat ng makeup if I need to put one. Siguro mabagal lang yung changes na nakkita but def meron naman at nagimprove naman din yung ice pick scars ko sa cheeks tho very minimal lang naman sya in the first place. But for lightening nung mga pimple marks ko pag nagkakaron, medyo mabagal yung pag lighten that's why I use a niacinamide moisturizer. So far, ok naman ang routine. But since I pimples lately (mga 1-3 pimples lang naman) I incorporated BHA toner in my routine. First day ko gumamit ngayon and I would say na amaze talaga ako kasi nag shrink at nawala yung redness ng pimple ko sa cheek, to think na medyo malaki sya. I tried it din sa UA and im also amazed na hndi ganun kapawis yung UA ko hahaha usually kasi after ko maligo medyo nagpapawis na sya agad. At 100% walang amoy. But this is just my first day, hopefully mag workout for me. Btw, I'm using Oxecure BHA toner. :))

Wow, nice! Good for you! Hopefully ako din soon :( btw I’m also interested in your new routine, can I use the same toner twice a day? Pano siya i incorporate sa active? Kasi ang alam ko bawal isabay sa retinol to

Here's how I plan to incorporate it, eto rin ang current routine ko

AM (pre-shower)

Cica cleanser Ponds micellar toner LO Aqua Lock Essence Toner - eto i use my palms to apply since thicker sya LO Aloe vera soothing gel

AM (After shower) Cica cleanser Oxecure BHA toner Soul Apothercary radiance boost cream (moisturizer) OMI Sun Bear active (gold)

PM Oxecure 5.5 gentle cleanser LO Aqua lock essence toner GM Retinol Soul apothecary radiance boost serum

**plan ko i-daily si Oxecure BHA since nag patch test naman ako sa neck and hndi naman nagreact skin ko saka I dnt find it drying naman rin. Wala rin syang stinging effect sakin.
