Don't panic! The good news is, that most of your trouble is probably the hormone aftermath of pregnancy and it takes at least a year for things to get back to normal, so especially the zit thing will probably go away in time.
There are lots of others here who can help you with finding products. Don't get too agressive all of a sudden with your skin, as you have discovered with the retinol some products take time for your skin to get used to and dryness will only add to your problems.
Good luck! You have come to the right place here, soon you'll be radiant again! |

I would stick with the Retinol but maybe cut back to 2X a week since you're experiencing some dryness and irritation. Gradually increase to every other night or nightly as you adjust.
After you have adjusted to the Retinol you could incorporate a Vit.C/antioxident serum into your regime. Skin Actives has a ready made C serum now and an antioxident serum called CHAS which has really good ingredients. Both are very inexpensive.
A barrier repair moisturizer such as DarkMoon mentioned would be a good choice or NIA Skin Strenghtening Complex is another good one. It usually takes some trial & error though to find products that are suitable for your own particular concerns. Also, don't forget to use a sunscreen of at least 30 spf. |
