Beginners start with a low-strength retinol product, such as one with a concentration of 0.25% or 0.5%. This will allow your skin to adjust to the retinol without causing excessive irritation or dryness. It is important to use retinol products as directed and gradually increase the frequency of use over time. It is also important to use sunscreen during the day as retinol can increase sensitivity to the sun. If you experience excessive irritation or dryness, decrease the frequency of use or switch to a lower concentration product. Always consult with a dermatologist if you have any concerns or questions about incorporating retinol into your skincare routine.
