I love this product

I've been using retinol for a few years now, so my skin is already used to the higher concentration. This cream is just for experienced users, not for beginners. I really like this retinol. Its action is felt immediately. It has the texture of a serum and is quite economical.

Sadly, giving me cystic type acne even 2 months in

I wanted to love it since it’s so expensive but been using for 2 months now about 3 times a week. I know purging is part of the process but it’s been 2 months and while I had acne before, this is giving me large cyst like acne that I’ve never had before. I still have a little less than half the bottle and am going to try to finish the bottle because I do see results in fine lines and pores but I’m starting to think it’s not a purge anymore and possibly my skin is just irritated by it. I’ll finish the bottle and update my review if it gets better and it was/is possible just purging but my hopes aren’t too high.
