I'm still on retin-a 0.25 for like 2 months. My skin looks and feels amazing. Other than my chin!! It itches, and I get new zits there daily. They go away soon but the peeling and itching is too much. Any advice?

 

1st one is just out of the shower and irritated.

The other 2 are my skin improving.

Hello Dustin,

Retinol does make the skin itchy since it also speeds the turn over of your skin. A good, non-comedogenic moisturizer should help remedy the itchiness. Also, avoid rubbing or scratching your chin and you might also want to consider changing your toothpaste as it could be causing the zits on that particular area on your face.
