Does Retinol still work even with irritation present?
I use prescribed Retinol 0.1% every 2nd or 3rd night. I often have extreme redness, itchiness and some slight swelling in patches on my face which goes away after a day or two. I am determined to soldier on until my skin becomes accustomed to Retinol. My question is, is the Retinol still effective even if irritation is present? Will the red marks left behind eventually be replaced with good skin?
