In reply to May. May, Granactive Retinoid is weaker and gentler than retinol, so you may be able to use it with glycolic acid. But I still recommend you alternate. There's no reason to exfoliate more than 2/3 times a week.

Hello Gio! In your post you recommend alternating exfoliation and retinoids. On TO website one of the routine they recommend is glycolic acid 7% toner + granactive retinoid 2% or 5%. Do you think it is enough to exfoliate the skin when used twice a week? I’m used to AHA (but it doesn’t work on me!) and totally new to retinoids. I tried retinol from Paula’s Choice but it broke me out really badly.

Thank you,

May

In reply to Aaini. A Aini, if your skin can tolerate it, I'd increase frequency slowly. But please also discuss this with your dermatologist.

H!! I am on Retin A journey since last 8 months. I am using 0.5 but I didn’t see any obvious results in my skin yet. I’m the beginning I was using it once a day and now I am using it continues 2 days in a week. So is it time to move towards 1percent..? Or should I increase days of using Retin A?
