my current routine is: am Clense and moisturize, pm: cleanse, retinal 2days on 1 off and repeat, then moisturizer. before I used to use vitamin c in am and azelaic acid in pm. I just started the retinal recently what should I change or do instead?

okay ill do that thx, how long would it take to fade the spots n shit
all depends on how fast ur skin reacts and how consistent, sometimes ur skin burns so much u cant put it on for a couple days, u will start seeing results within a week though. might get a purging stage but depends on the person

mark as solution

ive been using the retinal for around a week n a half now, I started with every other day for 3 uses then I went to 2x a day then rest. so ive used it around 7 times. ive js seen a slight glow not any significant purging or anything

Use ret at night and make sure you are using spf

idk what retinal u have but u cant use proper retinal in the morning, it makes ur skin hyper sensitive to the sun and it'll burn and be ineffective, proper retinal, derma grade like cabtreo or tret, can only be applied at night to prevent severe skin irritation

the length of the process is also different for everyone
