This may be a dumb question... But how long can cysts take to appear? was allergic to product using. Had Shea butter and caused breakouts. Started using Retinol, skin appeared to be clear but next day had a new cyst "brewing". have been on new non-Shea regimen for 1.5 weeks. Could the breakout be from the Shea still?

Yes definitely. Cysts are very deep in your skin and can take up to 3 or 4 weeks to appear. Also Retinol sounds like it's a topical retinoid and these usually have the effect of bringing all the underneath stuff to the surface before they work on clearing it.
