How I use Retinol in my skincare routine

For the past year, I have been experimenting with adding Retinol in my skincare routine. Finding the right products, that both address acne and anti-aging in the least steps possible, can be challenging. I have been a convinced adopter of The Ordinary brand so I decided to give their Retinol serums a try.

As a thrifter, I always look for the most value at the most affordable price. I found The Ordinary skincare line and have been a fan for close to a year now, trying several of their facial serums. In my skincare review, I talked about adding The Ordinary BHA/AHA facial peel and how it made a clear difference in helping correct skin texture by exfoliating and clearing pores. However, a peel remains an occasional treatment and can not be used in your daily care. I still needed a solution for a more regular use, that will gradually improve my skin, not just provide one-time relief. Through doing research online with favorite Youtubers and dermatologists, I decided to add Retinol in my routine since results tend to show with time. Trying The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion was definitely a game changer when it comes to moisturizing factor and skin texture. Check out my review below!
