Hi, it's normal - retinol is sensitive to light, also usually we should introduce retinol step by step, I assume you use it on daily basis, the best choice is to use it twice a week at first. Also, retinol can make your skin irritated to the level in which it's good to switch to unscented moisturizers like bioderma cicabio

Thank you for your valuable tips!! I have been using it every other day in the first weeks. Perhaps I need to step down a little bit more…
Thanks!

Great, thanks! I appreciate it! Will the retinol still be effective with the layer of moisturizer underneath?

Yes retinol is oil soluble meaning it will be absorb into the skin like the moisturizer. The moisturizer will acts as a buffer to reduce potential irritation.

I use retinol in the PM only and have not had that issue, maybe the retinol is making your skin more sensitive to sun damage, even with sunscreen on? I would switch to exclusive PM use and see if it makes things better for you :)
