A really effective exfoliator for my lumpy chin! Retinol or tret??

[Thommasina]

The skin on my chin is thick and lumpy. The chin hairs often ingrow and form whitish pimples. Just looking at it with a magnifying mirror (hideous!) and I need to do something with it. Would a retinol or tret help?

Cheap and effective

Ooh that looks satisfying! Have you used it?

I prefer glycolic acid to salicylic acid. REN Ready Steady Glow and Alpha H Liquid Gold are good, they work really quickly too where I think retinol/tret takes a bit longer to see the difference.

Paulas choice bha stuff is great

La Roche Posay effeclar facial wash and serum. Paula's Choice also very good.

I only ever buy my acids from them.

They are the best foe chemical exfoliants.

Are they strong enough though?

Strong enough for what..? I guess I can't comment on your specific skin but it's worth a try. I find them very effective, and lots of people can't tolerate the REN because they find it too strong.

oh and also thick skin with white pimples -is your skin red as well? Could it be perioral dermatitis?
