How to start retinol without wrecking your barrier
Twice a week at night, on dry skin, a pea-sized amount. Build up only when your skin stops complaining. Sunscreen every morning is not optional with a retinoid — Kourienty stocks SPF50+ from $13.
If your skin is already irritated, repair first and retinol later. A ceramide cream like Celimax Dual Barrier ($24) or Dr.Althea 147 Barrier Cream ($30) is the right first purchase in that case.
