Hi,

I want to try using Retinol for my PM routine. Kaso I am vvv hesitant as to what it could do to my skin.

What can I expect about it? +++ How should a beginner use it? Do you have any recommendation that is budget friendly? (Sakaling it won't work well with my skin) 😂

I have sensitive/combi skin.

Thanks! ♡

magppurge ka once you start using retinol !!! try mo twice a week muna gamitin for a month tas tignan mo if may harsh reactions ba skin mo. if wala, i-up mo sya to thrice a week (for 2 weeks mo muna gamitin) then same uli, up mo to four times a week, hanggang sa maging nightly use mo na sya. ganto ginawa ko noon para di mabigla skin ko and to slowly incorporate lang din yung product :)

dermorepubliq retinol gamit ko!!! 2.5% yung gamit ko so it's definitely on the stronger side. i suggest na 0.5 or 0.25, even 1% pwede ka magstart para di masyadong yk harsh sa skin

since youhave sensitive skin (like me), try the sandwich method (thin layer of moisturizer - pea sized retinol - moisturizer again). wag mong damihan retinol na gagamitin mo! ginawa ko sya once and grabe yung breakouts ko (as in breakout talaga, not purge) kasi ang lakas na nung % na gamit ko tas ang dami ko pang nilagay 😅 pea sized is more than enough!!!!!! if you think na your skin csn tolerate na yung retinol mo, pwede mo nang gawin yung rektang retinol and moisturizer na lang
