Retinol for Acne

[minniemouse203]

Hey everybody! I’ve heard that retinol can help with clearing acne so I was looking for a good starter product. Nothing too harsh I think and I have dry skin so I don’t know if I have a lot of options, but I thought I would see if anyone has some products to recommend 🙂 look forward to hearing from everyone!

Hi, because you said that you have dry skin i would recommend that you use a mild retinol because retinols dry out your skin a lot. 

If you do decide that you want to use a retinol i would recommend the The INKEY List SuperSolutions 1% Retinol Serum 1 oz / 30 mL. Because retinol is very drying is would recommend paring it with the Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Fat Water Hydrating Milky Toner Essence with Hyaluronic Acid + Tamarind 5 oz / 150 mL and the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair® Cream Intense Hydration – Face and Body Moisturizer for Skin Repair. 

If in the end you decide you don't want to use a retinol i would recommend trying the Farmacy Honeymoon Glow AHA Resurfacing Night Serum 1 oz/ 30 mL and parring it with the Farmacy Deep Sweep 2% BHA Pore Cleaning Toner with Moringa + Papaya 4.0 oz/ 120 mL, and the Farmacy Honey Savior All-in-One Skin Repair Salve 1.6 oz/ 46 g.

Hope this helps
