Retinol new bee in 30s !
I just started using Barefaced retinol, i cant say my skin is purging exactly but it was too dry initial few days. I layered with moisturizer & it got better that way. BUT i dont see any big changes in my skin like everyone talks about 🤓. How many days/weeks is the transition period?

it can take a few months to see results with retinol. stay consistent and you’ll be so happy! i started with one consistently in november and my skin looks really good now.

also, not sure how frequently you’re using it, but a general rule of thumb is 2-3 nights per week when you first start a retinol.

I just started using retinol about 2 weeks ago and not seeing any results yet. I think you’ll start noticing a difference around 2 months? Keep at it, it will be worth it! 😊

I’m a retinol newbie too, started in early Jan. My skin is 100% purging right now, both dry and breaking out. But it’s starting to calm down/no new breakouts and it feels a lot softer. I’m already turning less red too

helpful

Glad to hear !
I dint have breakouts a lot but dryness definitely. I started it for redness reduction & having an even tone on my cheeks , you are giving me hope ❤️

Not sure if you’re using for acne or anti-aging, but I started using retinol for acne a few months ago. The first 2 weeks my skin was SUPER dry and peely. I still only use it every second or third night but my skin has really settled down, and it’s helped with my acne a fair bit too. I started seeing positive results around 4-6 weeks after starting

helpful

My skin was dry & peely the first week.
From next week i started adding moisturizer on it & that helped a LOT
I started more from anti aging point and also for a clearer skin (aka less redness on cheeks).
I'm doing it 2-3 times a week not more.
Hopefully i'll start seeing results soon too🤞🏻

A couple of months! I started in November I think and have recently started seeing the changes. How are you applying? I use it a couple different ways, only every other night and depending on how dry I feel I either put it under or over my moisturizer.

Interesting ! I'll keep that in mind.
I'll check out glow recipe. 🤞🏻hopefully it gets better by summer.
Thankyou !
