@miradwi what concentration of retinol are you using? What are you pairing it with? Are you applying it on damp skin? You can try buffering the retinol by mixing it in with your moisturizer. Maybe try using a hydrating toner/essence before you add it and follow with a moisturizer. Use a hydrating serum and moisturizer between retinol days.Applying retinol on damp skin can make it absorb deeper which can be more irritating.

@mehakvirk @Treatment is acne spot treatment or retinol or vitamin c serum. For example. Sulwhasoo Overnight Vitalizing Mask 4.05 oz / 120 ml

I know, it is so annoying! Mine didn’t do that until recently and now it’s literally just a list of the last things I looked at.

Vary good sunscreen 🏊🏻‍♂️🏊🏻‍♂️

@LailaisCool I think you should get her a gentle cleanser like The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser 5 oz/ 150 mL or you could get her a lip balm like LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balm Gummy Bear or Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm for Hydration & Shine Birthday Cake because it’s good to have moisturized lips and it won’t effect her young skin.

Personally i have the almost exact same problem as yours and i used the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow PHA + BHA Pore-Tight Toner 5.07 oz/ 150 mL and as of now it smoothed the bumps on my face a lot with no negative effects yet so maybe try that🥰

Thank you so much. There's a Sephora store near me so I'll go ask for an even more detailed version. But all those suggestions were so helpful. Thank you very much!

I bought the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow PHA + BHA Pore-Tight Toner 5.07 oz/ 150 mL# and Glow Recipe Guava Vitamin C Dark Spot Brightening Treatment Serum 1 oz/ 30 mL # yesterday and they do smell pretty good and the watermelon toner is a bit sticky at first but then after i patted it in and it dried it is really good and made my skin soft so overall yes its worth it as of now

So I think sunscreen is necessary everyday so here’s what I love Kosas DreamBeam Silicone-Free Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40 with Ceramides and Peptides 1.3 oz / 40 mL Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40 Sunscreen with Hyaluronic Acid + Niacinamide Sunset Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen Body SPF 40 3.4 oz / 100 mL ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Foundation
