A reminder that an ingredient is cool, how its treated in formula, packaging and manufacturing is critical. Retinal I’m talking about is crystal retinal by @officialmedik8 and retinol I’m talking about is @skinceuticals (they only have the 1 I think, comes in a cute bb aluminum tube). Or, go to your derm for tret / if I’m going to recco telehealth Im a fan of @skinmedicinals but this is STRONG and not for everyone. Even I take breaks as my skin will get quite dry. Affiliate links in bio for the different retinols and retinals I’ve used and loved ♥️ reminder that adapalene in differin and la roche posay is approved for OTC claims on acne so if you’re tackling breakouts and can’t make it to a derm use that over any retinol to start. It’s really well priced and stable so lower risk IMO ♥️ #skincare #skincareroutine #beauty #retinol
