The number one retinol mistake: treating it like a race. 🏃
More retinol doesn't mean faster results. It means peeling, dryness, and that burning feeling when you apply moisturizer, which is exactly what I hear a few weeks after someone goes all in.
Start slow. A couple of nights a week, pea-sized amount, increasing only as your skin tolerates it.
Moisturize consistently, wear SPF every morning, and pause if your skin is irritated or your provider says to before a treatment. ✨
Retinol is incredible when used correctly. Patience beats intensity every time, and that's the approach we take here at Meghan Ross Aesthetics. 🖤
Save this before you start (or restart) retinol.
