I'm 28, i would like to know if should start using a retinol serum or cream? can you recommend a brand or product? i use spf daily and take vitamins.

Wrong question: Use of retinol is independent of vitamin or sunscreen use. It may be useful for acne or for brown areas. Answer to this question depends on the reason for use.
