When the hell does in calm down?
Been using skin and me for a couple of weeks and im getting a few sensitive red areas appearing.I don't normally have sensitive skin.
Ive tried layering it with moisturiser first as I've seen recommended but still getting same problem.

I would stop using it until skin gets better and then re-start and only use it maybe a couple of days a week with a moisturising barrier. See how you get on and only increase frequency when you can tolerate. I assume you’re using a fairly low strength?
If you can’t tolerate it at all then maybe time to try a different formulation. I used illyoon cream to help with my skin barrier and ceravie (really thick one) for dry patches. I also avoided nose, chin and around eyes. I get redness also on my naso-labial folds so try to keep away from that area also.

When do you start seeing results?

Are you using it daily? It's recommended that you ease your way into it, maybe start just a couple of days a week, or alternatively use daily but wash off after 30-60 mins

I am not sure it is suitable for everyone. I had to stop despite using very carefully and proceeding slowly.

I have sensitive skin so I always do the sandwich method (light moisturiser, let it dry completely, then tret, then let it completely sink in and then a layer of LRP baume). I started doing it once a week, then twice a week, now I can manage every coupe of days. Whenever my skin is irritated by something new I lay off everything bar LRP and just work on repairing my barrier then slowly try reintroducing. Hope that helps 😊
