I have just been given medical strength retinol A by my doctor to reduce hormonal pigmentation. I have to use it every second night for a few weeks and then every night.
He warned me that my skin might flake/peel at first.
Now I am working tonight and my skin is red and flakey yuk!
My boyfriend said its not very visible under my make-up.
My skin feels all tight and dry - like sunburn kind of.
Has anyone else used retinol A. How long does this side effect usually last? I forgot to ask my doctor. I hope it stops soon.
