Skincare Routine with Retinol

Dr. David Kim on Instagram: "How to use retinol to get all the benefits without the complications! Retinol is a rockstar ingredient but can make your skin more sensitive to the sun and cause irritation. This is how to ease into retinol to avoid a retinol burn. 👨🏻‍⚕️ ✅ Pick the right strength. Retinols typically come in 0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5%, and 1%. If you have sensitive skin start with 0.1% and work your way up. Stronger isn’t always better! @neutrogena @iope_official @lorealparis ✅ Pea size.

Dr. Ankur Sarin on Instagram: "Step 1: Cleanse & Dry Wash your face with a gentle cleanser. Wait for your skin to become completely dry; applying Retinol on damp skin can increase absorption too quickly and lead to irritation. Step 2: The 4-Dot Method Take a pea-sized amount and place 4 dots on your face (forehead, both cheeks, and chin) to ensure even application. Carefully blend, avoiding the sensitive “danger zones” around your eyes and the corners of your mouth. Step 3: Seal with Moisturizer
