“This pro retinoid serum is so good for helping with blemishes and uneven skin tone. My skin looks clearer and brighter since I began using and I would highly recommend to other potential buyers looking to try a good retinoid serum.”
“I have a history of breaking out from retinols, and this one does not cause me to break out at all while still being highly active and effective. I actually switched from a common med spa brand to this product and find this product works better.”
“A Superb serum that does not irritate my skin and has really improved its texture and appearance. I have bought this several times now despite the price. A little does go a long way. Many thanks.”
“I have struggled with acne around my mouth for years. About 6 months ago i cut out gluten and that helped significantly, I reached a point where I felt happy with my skin and breakouts were less intense so I wanted to try a retinol again to take it to the next level (I had tried Dr Sams in the past but didnt see it through very long).
I started it at the start of April introducing it slowly with a moisture barrier and started purging, that initial purge subsided a bit but ever since now I have had consistent spots around my mouth. I don't know whether I am still purging (although it has been 2 months of use now) or whether my skin just doesn't respond well to a retinol. Would really appreciate some advice, feeling very lost with it. (for context I use retinol every 2-3 days and with a moisture barrier too and neutralising gel on days i don't use retinol)”
Hi Hannah,
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Flawless Nightly Pro 5% Retinoid Serum. We're sorry to hear that you've been experiencing persistent breakouts around your mouth, especially after you've worked so hard to improve your skin. It sounds like you've been diligent in introducing the retinol along with a moisture barrier, which is great!
Purging can last a bit longer for some people, but if the breakouts are continuing without any improvement, it may be worth evaluating whether your skin agrees with this particular retinol formulation. It's important to listen to your skin and make adjustments if needed. Our Flawless Nightly 2% Retinoid Serum might be a better fit for your skin at the moment, and you can gradually work up to the 5% strength as needed. We've got in touch directly to provide further assistance.
