If you’re NEW to retinoids, here are a few pro tips to help your skin get the most out of night 2, retinol night, in your skin cycling routine: ✨Consider starting with a gentle OTC retinol or retinal rather than a prescription strength retinoid. ✨Try using a fragrance-free moisturizing cream like Bowe GloweTM Microbiome Nourishing Cream around the most sensitive areas prior to applying your chemical exfoliant or retinoid (eye area, smile lines & chin area). This can serve as a buffer or barrier protecting these sensitive areas from the stronger actives. Don’t worry, little bits will still get through and you can always graduate to only using the moisturizer on TOP of those products after your skin adjusts. PRO tip for leveling up your skin cycling routine: ✨Consider switching to a more powerful retinoid and, consider eliminating one recovery night for a 3 night cycle instead! #DrWhitneyBoweBeauty #ThatBoweGlow
