Will retinol make you break out?

To avoid breakouts, start with small doses and work your way up, and make sure to use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer. Additionally, you should always wear sunscreen when using Retinol as it can make your skin more sensitive to the sun’s rays.

Why am I breaking out after using retinol?

If you are using a retinol product, it is important to start with a low concentration and use the product only a few times a week. Be sure to use a moisturizer to help protect your skin and reduce irritation. Additionally, it may be helpful to speak with a dermatologist if you are experiencing persistent irritation or breakouts.

Should I stop using retinol if breaking out?
