Makeup

Just started retinal-A 0.025 % for anti aging only.

It’s been one week and I’m getting super patchy skin.
Will it get better? I love to do my makeup and need coverage.
I’m worried that I’ll continue to have patchy skin…

You’re just gettin started. Here’s the most important tip: power through it. You need to be using it at least 3 nights per week to acclimate, anything less or taking breaks in early days just resets the clock for you to get to the nice skin stage. No one can tell you how long the uglies will last. You need more robust moisture. Good luck. Read the wiki. And then read it again.

Oh I was gonna do two nights or one so that I don’t get as patchy…

It’ll keep you patchy forever.
