Please recommend me a good starter retinol? I’m 35 in a couple of weeks & feel I need to up my skincare now make sure I start looking after my skin.

I have actually done all this before but can’t remember which product I used although I didn’t stick to it for very long 🫣

Thanks

I like the ordinary retinal in the pump.

I’ve had years of acne treatment so used to harsh stuff on my face though.

I found the La Roche Posay one good.

Ive now moved on to Dermatica on a prescription.

La Roche Posay as well. It is only 3% but use it twice a week and work up.

The Ordinary have some great retinol products. I started on less than 1% and worked my way up to 5%.

I use the one in Squalane. (Sp?)
