why are my cheeks so fucking red

[Zoraaaa]

I started a skincare routine where i use a cleanser, 0,5%retinol and a moisturizer i started using retinol once a week and gradually used it more and now im up to 4-5 times a week.
Recently i have noticed that my cheeks are so fucking red, and not just stated by me my mom and sister have asked what has happened to my cheeks, i stopped using it as i read online that it could just be that i need to not use retinol for a few days.
Anyone know if its the retinol or something im eating that could cause this.

update didn't use it last night it has severely gone down. some red spots are left but very small, i suspect it will dissapear tonight,
i suspect that its my skin that's not used to the harshness of it will start using in a few days again

Yah thought so. It' s common tbh due to thin skin. It's especially common in the English but nords will have it too

maybe the cleanser is making your skin sensitive? i had that too, try one for sensitive skin maybe

It's the retinol. Topical Vitamin A causes redness, which on white skin becomes pretty severe.
