you only apply it at night, start with once a week then gradually increase to daily. been using it for a couple years now, it just helps with skin texture and smoothness

Once a week ok, and it also says to keep refrigerated after opening it, so will do.
Does it cause any peeling or stuff like that ?

You can't expect such side effects because you shouldn't expect any results at all. Just retinol is extremely weak and small results come after 6-8 months. Just get tretinion which is much stronger and works faster or get accutane which is kinda the best because it works systemically. Weird that you cope with normal retinol as a 2024cel with 5000 reps.

yeah but tret is only with a prescription in my country, i have no idea how to source some, and as i said i’m already using adapalene (prescribed by dermatologist) which is somewhat good.
