Oily skin benefits most from Retin-A gel. Its lightweight texture prevents clogging pores and excess oil production. This helps avoid breakouts often associated with thicker creams.
Dry skin types should opt for Retin-A cream. Creams provide more hydration and lubrication, counteracting the potential dryness and irritation Retinoids can cause. This helps to maintain a healthy skin barrier.
Sensitive skin requires a cautious approach. Start with a pea-sized amount of Retin-A cream, applying it every other night. Creams generally offer a gentler introduction to Retinoids. Monitor your skin closely for any irritation. If redness or discomfort persists, reduce application frequency or consider consulting a dermatologist.
