My derm told me to stop using retinol every night and my skin got better in 3 weeks
Went in for a checkup at a clinic in Portland and the derm looked at my face and said my barrier was wrecked from using retinol nightly for 8 months. She said cut it to twice a week and add a plain moisturizer. I did it and the flaking and redness cleared up in about 3 weeks. Now I use tretinoin on Sundays and Wednesdays only. Has anyone else been told they were overdoing it with actives?

8 months of nightly retinol is wild. Twice a week is plenty, most people just refuse to hear it.
