None. Do adapalene instead.

adapalene is the way to go for lesser acne

You can use the very sensitive bakuchiol + 0.3% retinol serum from Paula's Choice. It's very gentle and made for you to get used to retinoids. You can then progress through their entire line to retinal + adapalene. Then to the likes of tretinoin. You're essentially following the natural conversion process it would undergo in your skin.

I already have tried rhat in the past and it didnt work that well for me even after 2 months consistent use, and im not worries about my acne as much as the discoloring and smile lines

Bet thanks, do you know a schedule of how often to use and after how long until i should progress to retinal?

Use it EOD or E3D depending on irritation and then progress up to daily. Once you run out of your serum, you can either use it again, or progress onto a more potent version. When you progress, repeat this process.
