Retinol is a potent ingredient. If you are new to retinol, then you must use it 1-2x a week and make sure to incorporate hydrating and moisturising properties. After the skin getting used to it, then gradually increase the frequency in a week.
Do you use the retinol everyday? Do you add hydrating or moisturising ingredients into your routine when using the retinol? If you're using it everyday, try to stop the usage and lower the frequency in a week. Try to add hydrating and moisturising products as well.
Also, make sure your routine doesn't contain any exfoliating agents as retinol aren't meant to be combined with exfoliants, or other potent ingredients like benzoyl peroxide, etc.

I actually use it once a week and so far my skin isn’t reacting well. And I usually use it the sandwich method. I would apply moisturizer and then retinol and then moisturise again.
But every time my skin gets cracked and it will get all sensitive again. So I’m just wondering if maybe retinol isn’t suited for me

It’s very normal. I’ve been using retinol for around 7-8 years, and sometimes changing brands make my skin peel and sensitive. I’ve just started prescription tretinoin again 2 months ago and the peeling lasted for at least 6 weeks, I use it 2-3 times a week. Also applying a plain, but hydrating moisturizer before retinol helps wonders 😊 hope this helps.

Absolutely normal. Retinoids aren't for everyone, despite the raved about results. I would recommend trying retinaldhyde. It's a conversion step closer to being retinoic acid, so it can be less harsh for some people.

What's your moisturizer??? Maybe you need a thicker and richer one to compensate from retinol.

Indeed!!! Have you tried mixing your retinol with your cream instead of the sandwich method? I noticed my skin prefer when I mix my retinol (a pea size) with my moisturizer.

It is very normal indeed, I would personally suggest to switch to retinAL. it's far more gentle and you can use it daily too but as you are new to it start 3 times per week. You can browse their website as they start from the lowest strength and you build your tolerance to it

I recently purchased some great products from @medik8. I haven’t had the opportunity to post yet, but it’s a good line. Last night I tried the Medik8 face treatment and my skin is incredibly soft.
This is positive purchase! You should put a thick cream over it to lessen or.sto peels. I had no negative effects and highly recommend it. I hope you contact the line and Amazon too. 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
