it has been 2.5 months since I started using retinols into my skincare routine. Initially, I tried The Ordinary Retinol Serum, but I disliked its oily texture.
Then I switched to the CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum, which I adore. I apply it every night, ensure sufficient hydration for my skin, and use sunscreen.
Yet, I continue to experience breakouts on my forehead. Previously, I only had occasional blemishes in that area before using retinols.
Now, I wake up to new pimples every morning. They appear to be closed comedones, which I find difficult to heal. Moreover, for every one that does heal, three new ones appear.
I'm incredibly frustrated with this never-ending purging process. If there's no improvement by April, I think I’ll stop using that serum
