I just had a little redness from using it weekly. The most irritating part is my usually normal skin now varies greatly from dry to oily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-use-retinol#post-2728109 Mon, 24 Apr 2017 08:28:04 +0000 pwnstar 2728109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Retinol and Retin-A are very different--Retinol is a much milder form of Retin-A (which is probably why you aren't seeing any irritation, although it doesn't have to be irritating to be effective!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-use-retinol#post-2728085 Mon, 24 Apr 2017 07:43:25 +0000 Mamaof2 2728085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought some retinol and went with 1.0 - from what I read they suggested you start with either .25 or .5 but I figured what the heck lets go right in!</p> <p>Reviews I read seemed like everyone got red, peeling, etc after using or within a few days.</p> <p>I used it Friday and here we are Monday and nothing...... I will use again on Tuesday - I feel like I have sensitive skin so was surprised at the lack of anything happening - </p> <p>what was your experience using it? </p>
