Retinol / Breakouts

[lookingfortheadult]

Hi!

I've been using retinol since just after Christmas combined with VitaminC moisturiser (Medik8). It was going well but for the last two weeks I've got lots of little whitehead type spots, particularly around my chin / mouth.

I've heard of retinol purging but has anyone had experience of this 12 weeks in?! And is it worth continuing?

I found applying niacinamide under my a.m moisturiser settled the retinol purge, although it started earlier than 12 weeks.
