What Are Retinoids?
- Retinoids are derivatives or mimics of vitamin A functioning under an umbrella term.
- They regulate skin cell turnover, improving skin tone, texture, and acne condition.
Retinoid Application Tips
- Use a pea-sized amount of retinoid for your entire face and avoid the eye area.
- Start slow with 2-3 times per week and apply moisturizer first to reduce irritation.
Avoid Product Overload
- Combining retinoids with exfoliating acids risks damaging your skin barrier.
- Use retinoids with gentle cleansers and moisturizers only to avoid over-exfoliation.
