@drspf: We’re all retinoid stans 🤝 But are you making these common mistakes in 2026? 1️⃣ Applying too much
Use only a green pea-sized amount for your entire face. More product won’t deliver faster or better results—it will increase your risk of irritation. 2️⃣ Delaying because you’re worried about “purging”
Purging can happen, but not everyone experiences it. Start slowly—just 2–3 nights per week—and gradually increase as tolerated. 3️⃣ Using it only as a spot treatment
Apply a thin layer across the entire face. Retinoids work best by helping prevent new acne, not just treating individual breakouts. Finish with your favorite facial moisturizer, such as CeraVe PM Lotion or La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm. 🧴 🚨 Avoid retinoids during pregnancy. Hope this helps, skincare Ohana 😎🤙 #retinoids #drsugaiskincare #retinol #retinolmistakes #howtouseretinol
