Or will that dry out my skin?





Or will that dry out my skin?
There are many stereotypes about the industry that I work in. Sometimes they can be true but human beings are very diverse creatures and cannot be pigeon-holed into one category.
Some of the most effortlessly beautiful, kind, intelligent, successful, motivated, driven and ridiculously hilarious women that I have ever met have been dancers. I've met the best friends that I've ever had in this industry.
I use it every night, but I built up to that over a period of 2 or 3 months. Now, if I don't use it very night, while still clear, my skin doesn't have that glow that I like.

do u use it alone or over moisturiser. When i first started using it i used it alone and my skin was peeling quite a bit. Now ive been using it on top of my moisturiser. will it still be as effective?

I use it alone before bed and moisturize well when I wake up. My skin *is* drier, but that has meant more moisturizing, which is fine. I'm happy with the results I'm seeing.
I don't combine it with anything because I am afraid that will inhibit effectiveness (I don't know if it really does though), and that's how the doc told me to do it.
I could not use it everyday when I first started (it's one of the stronger prescription strengths), but I can now. However, I am really sensitive to the sun with everyday use, so even a trip to the grocery store with sunblock can bring out some redness where I tend to concentrate the cream around my eyes and forehead.

I think I need to start using an anti-wrinkle product, but I'm acne prone so I can't use something creamy or oily. Is retinol A good for that? What kind should I use?

yep im using retinol A for breakouts rather than wrinkles as i was advised to by my derm. but im not seeing him for a while and cant remember whether he said to use alone or under moisturiser.
as a bonus my skin is seriously GLOWING!!

I think it depends....
I used it for 2 days and ended up peeling and red for a week.
Trial and error basically...if it's too much, you'll know.





I'm so oily that I have STOPPED using moisturizer except for a cream around my eyes and it's really helped with my break outs - what's a good retinol A that doesn't moisturize?
Most people end up peeling a bit at first. You shouldn't be using it every day to start out with. Start with maybe 2X a week, then slowly move up, or you will burn the fuck out of your skin.
As for a moisturizer, when I have it, I use glycerine (very very tiny amount) and a bit of water, wait 10 min, put on retin a, when I'm out of glycerin I use jojoba oil. Some things, even when using retin a will give me blackheads, but these two never do.
I also use jojoba oil in the morning while my face is still wet, let it dry then use banana boat dri-blok spf 30 over it. This spf dries to REALLY nice matte finnish, and leaves my skin looking great even without makeup. For eyes I use banana boat sport preformance spf55, it's creamier, and fels better in that area.
