Shereene Idriss explains how to use retinol safely on sensitive skin. Layer a serum and moisturizer first as a buffer, then apply tretinoin on top. Skip the area around your mouth to avoid irritation.
How to use retinol if you have sensitive skin A old school demo. If your skin is sensitive, you want to layer products underneath your retinol. And if you're super sensitive, save it. As a last step, go in first with your serum, followed by your moisturizer, and last with your tretinoin or over the counter retinol. The serum and the moisturizer will act like a buffer which will minimize the effect of your retinol or prescription. But that is what you want because you are sensitive. Now if you are normal, your skin can take it go wrong and strong baby. But that doesn't mean use more, it means apply it first. And I still do not go around my mouth because that ain't cute. And once that vitamin A baby is on your skin, lock that shit in, followed by your serum and your moisturizer.
