Should I use stronger retinol

[lslt0ver]

i'm at 0.5 but might go higher because of my acne scars and lines. Should I go higher or is it unnecessary

takes a while for retinoization to occur so definitely stay at .5 for at least 6 months.

1% is banned in Australia for skin damage. it's actually too high. Tret you need in small amounts for a 'long' time.

Retinol will only do so much. Unless you're most of the way there just get a Tretinoin prescription.

1% is good, but u need knowledge on proper moisturization to use it

i'd say to stick with .5 because you can be a little less stringent with things like moisturization - there's more room for mistakes so it fits easier into most people's lifestyles and understanding of skin care
