Decided to try retinol. Ordered Geltek, concentration 0.25. Followed the instructions precisely. Applied it for the first time 5 days ago, and there was no reaction. Applied it today, and after a couple of minutes, my whole face felt like it was burning, so I washed it off. Now my face is covered in red spots and still burning. Is this a burn? Maybe I should have used it less often until my skin got used to it?

I don't have any reaction to it at all. And I haven't noticed any effect either.

Maybe you should discuss this with a cosmetologist, huh?!

I started using it every day at a low concentration, and after a while, my face started to peel and get red, so I stopped. Now I've decided to start again. My esthetician recommended using it twice a week on dry skin, then sealing it with a restorative cream. Or rinsing it off about 15 minutes after applying it.

Inga No, it's been 20 minutes since I washed my face, you can't apply it on damp skin.

Anna I also had a little peeling after the first time. That's why I took a break, I guess I need to do it less often.

You need a lower dose to get used to it + finish with a ceramide cream.

Mataxari First two weeks: once a week, then every 5 days for 2 weeks, then every 3 days for 2 weeks, then every other day for 2 weeks, and finally every day. Be sure to use SPF cream in the morning, no matter the weather.

Aygerim My cosmetologist recommended it to me last year, she said to start in the fall when there's no sun.
I decided to go for it, I didn't know it was a trend now.

I had a reaction under my eyes to it. Red circles, I had to get a shot for allergies. Keep an eye on it, and if it doesn't go away, see a dermatologist.
