Miracle face cream! 10 weeks in and my skin has completely changed. A few things to note: this is a retinol cream. I was hesitant to start it and I’m so glad I did. You will experience redness, itching throughout and skin sensitivity especially in the first few weeks of using the product. Retinol/vitamin A absorbs through your skin and into your bloodstream so you may experience skin sensitivity in other areas of your body. For example, one night behind my knees itches! Start slow alternating days as your face builds up a tolerance. My aesthetition recommended that I start on ,25 every other day. Now I am at 1% daily. I didn’t really start to see change until I switched to 1% but I’m glad I started on a lower does. Moisturize! Your skin will be sensitive and dry at first. My drugstore ponds was perfect for this and I know helped reduced peeling and overall redness. Your skin is also more sensitive to sun so find a good daily sunscreen - linking my favorite below. Exfoliate with a soft cloth and gentle face cleanser regularly. Retinol helps speed up the skins renewal process leaving you with fresh skin, reduced fine lines and increased smoothness but you do have to help remove the peeling. I experienced more redness than extreme peeling. I had a few days where I couldn’t wear makeup due to the peeling. Some people experience both or the opposite. I will say you have to commit - don’t quit! Keep going for at least 8-10 weeks. . I am not a medical doctor, dermatologist or aesthetician. Consult a professional for questions - this is just my personal experience. Do not use if you are pregnant or nursing or trying to become pregnant. #skinxare #beautyroutine
