Phase 1: Demystifying the Retinol Beast

Imagine retinol as a tiny bulldozer, clearing away dead skin cells and boosting collagen production. It's a powerhouse for wrinkles, zits, and pores, but its strength can be intimidating. That's where retinol receptors come in – these are like welcome mats for retinol, ensuring it targets the right areas. Retinol does have the potential to irritate new users with sensitive skin, which is where skin cycling comes into play.


Phase 2: Unleashing the Skin Cycling Superpower

Think of skin cycling as retinol's gentle BFF. Alternate "active nights" with retinol's glow-up magic and "recovery nights" for skin pampering. Picture this:

  • Night 1: Chemical Exfoliation – Slough away dead cells with a gentle AHA/BHA face wash. Think of it as prepping the canvas for retinol's masterpiece.
  • Night 2: Retinol Power – Apply a pea-sized dollop of retinol cream and leave it on overnight.
  • Nights 3 & 4: Recovery – Time to pamper your skin! Hydrate it with a soothing moisturizer.

Phase 3: Geologie to the Rescue
