Hey everyone, I was wondering if its okay to start using retin a 1% , i started about 6 days ago with .5 and so far its good i have seen results in healing faster and clearing my face a few small pimples on my chin but nothing big and some what flaky spots on my cheeks after showering but nothing like redness and such and i was wondering if i can go up to 1% now , i know alot of people say you shouldnt go to 1% until ur face gets use to it, but is it possible my face can handle it enough for 1%? i have oily skin so my face never gets dry. so from personal experience from anyone , is this a bad idea or fine? thanks

BTW im on my 6th day of .5 retin a , daily use ,

That would be a question better suited for your Dermatologist or GP.

Buy a 1% and use a tiny litle bit on a spot on your face and se if its irritating just a tiny litle bit on your forehead or something.
