A member asked:
Can using retinol -drugstore grade- cause dryness, causing more lines to appear around eyes? is that a sign it's working? should continue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Retinol: If you experience dryness or irritation try using the cream less frequently, and use only at night. You should also use a daytime moisturizer with spf in it to prevent sub damage. Good luck!
