Retinol in Skin Care

Don’t Forget the SPF!
Retinol will increase your sensitivity to sunlight, so be sure and use a sunscreen if you are using a product with retinol. (But you are already using a sunscreen on your face everyday, right?) 

Retinol Side Effects
Sometimes when you add Retinol to your skin care regimen, the skin may become red and irritated. This will subside over time, as your skin adjusts to it. If it is too bothersome or gets severe, cut back on your application of retinol to every other day or every third day. When you find the level of retinol that your skin can tolerate, you can safely and gradually increase the frequency.
