So I began my Retinol journey with this Olay serum. My skin became flaky around the cheeks the day after the first application. There was no itchiness or irritation for me. I'm not sure if I had purging or not, but every month during my period, I get 3-4 large closed comedones that take a long time to heal. This is usually not something I have during my period. Not to mention the marks they left on my skin once they had healed.
So here are the changes that this serum made to my skin:
β
Smoother and more glowing skin.Β
β
Even skin tone, especially on my forehead.Β
β
Acne that heals quickly (other than that closed comedones).
β
There are no blackheads! And with very few sebacous filaments!
β
Pores are less visible, as are the lines on my forehead and nasolabial folds π
I'm disappointed that the sour smell has forced me to discontinue use of this serum. I enjoy using this serum during my night routine because it allows me to keep the routine simple. This is a great serum for a beginner, but remember to start slowly and be patient π
I intended to observe my skin's progress for 6 months, but the serum began to smell sour and fermented towards the end of the fourth month. I stopped using it right away.
