01
What are the first signs that I should stop using a retinol product?
Initial skin irritation, dryness, and sensitivity are common when using retinol products for the first time. If you continue to notice these effects on your skin after the first few weeks of use, it’s a good idea to discuss this with your doctor or dermatologist [3].You should always discontinue your use of retinol if your physician instructs you to. Your physician may also recommend that you slow down your use of retinol or use it at a lower concentration depending on your skin type and skin concerns.

02
What are the ‘retinol uglies’?
Also known as ‘retinol burn’, retinol uglies refer to side effects generally caused by more highly concentrated forms of retinol or by use on more sensitive skin [4].Indications that you’re experiencing retinol burn include:
- Dry skin
- Redness contributing to uneven skin tone
- Discoloration
- Flaking
- Painful skin irritation

04
Should I stop using retinol in the summer?
Yes, if you are already sensitive to sunlight or exposed to sunlight more often in the summer, you should carefully monitor your use of retinol products to help protect against sun damage.Both oral and topical retinoids greatly increase skin’s sensitivity to the sun. Therefore, if you expose your skin to the sun following your use of retinol, you must be extra careful to take additional precautions, such as diligent use of sunscreen and UV-protective clothing.If you do get sunburned when using retinol, spend a few days out of the sun to let your more sensitive skin recuperate.Although summer skin care is essential, it should also be noted that sun exposure doesn’t just occur in the summer. Many people are exposed to the sun even more during the wintertime, due to the snow reflecting sun directly onto your skin. This is especially true for those who enjoy snow sports, which could mean exposing your skin to reflective UV rays for hours at a time. Thus, it’s a good idea to wear sunscreen all year round.Many people also find it helpful to only apply retinol at night to reduce risk of sun exposure with retinol.

What happens if you use a retinol product every day?
If you are using an oral or topical retinoid daily and experience negative side effects that persist more than a few weeks, your doctor or dermatologist may recommend you taper down your use to just two or three days per week [5].Most people can tolerate over-the-counter doses of retinol every day, however, using a highly concentrated prescription retinoid may cause irritation and side effects more readily than over-the-counter products with lower concentrations. Before incorporating a retinol product into your regimen, it’s important to be aware of the more common retinol side effects on skin. This way you can more easily monitor how your skin responds to frequent application over time.If you experience negative side effects from retinol, consider alternating days that you use retinol with days that you use a soothing peptide moisturizer, preferably one containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, to counteract its effects. The best type of skincare product to alternate with retinol is one that promotes skin health and hydration, such as OneSkin’s OS-01 FACE and OS-01 EYE. In fact, both OS-01 FACE and OS-01 EYE are clinically validated to build skin's barrier and increase hydration, which may help counteract the acute effects of retinol, such as dryness and flaking. [6]

What happens when you stop using retinol?
It may take a week or more for your skin to return to normal after discontinuing the use of retinol. Keep in mind that retinol works on a cellular level, and it takes time for your skin cells to adjust to its introduction and its departure. If you’re concerned about the effects of discontinuing use of retinol as part of your skincare routine, you may consider exploring alternatives to retinol.
