I’ve been wanting to try retinol for nearly 2 years but held off due to pregnancy and breastfeeding (which I’ve now just stopped).
Where do I start? I know you need to start gently and build up frequency of use and strength gradually. Any suggested starter products?
My skincare regime is fairly good - I use daily hyaluronic acid, regular glycolic acid and a daily standalone SPF 50.
I’ve just joined Beauty Pie - their super retinol products appear to be a lower %, intended to be used everyday, which I guess doesn’t result in the initial flakiness issues, but does it work?!
And finally, so as to manage my expectations, what results have you had? I’m 37 and have lines above my eyebrows that I’d like to reduce as well as some fine lines around my eyes.
