Get off the fence and jump to your computer to purchase it. If you are nervous about the
irritation you feel you may incur-start with using it every third night for a while and then slowly
bring yourself to every night-if you find every night is too much you will eventually know what
schedule is best for your skin type.

I have very fair skin, as well. But I haven't had any problems with this retinol complex. Just put it on your face at night and top it with a moisturizer. You should be OK. It's a wonderful product.

I noticed your post was almost 2 months ago, but if you're still on the fence... TRY IT! My skin is sensitive. I can't use anything with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide and I even have to use specific body lotions. I did a lot of research on retinols because I wanted to use one for prevention. The way this product is blended (with the tree different types) must be the reason it works well for my sensitive skin.

The regimen I used is as follows: I wash my face and use a toner. I make sure the toner is completely dry, usually less than 5 mins (applying before it dries increases sensitivity with any product). Then I started using it every other day to see how dry my skin would be (all retinols, retinoids, etc. are prone to dryness until your skin adjusts). I was prepared to use it every three days, just in case, but after one week with no dryness I began using it every night. The only dryness I have experienced is around the blemishes it has brought out (which it is supposed to do). And, I was careless and got some around my lips which caused some irritation for a few days. Then I wait about 20 mins and apply moisturizer (I keep it next to my bed).

I hope this helps! I've been using it 3 weeks now and have already had people ask me what I've been doing differently (even while the blemishes are coming up) and I didn't have bad skin to begin with. I just wanted to use this as a preventive measure so I know that I'm not the only one noticing. Good Luck. I hope you find a product that helps if you haven't tried this one!

I have oily and sensitive skin and it has worked well for me. Try it and see.

I have not found this to be a heavy cream. You only need a pea size amount for your whole face. It is not as drying as other retinols, reitnoids, etc. and has been great for me.

I say when in doubt, reduce the frequency of usage and observe what happens. If you see no improvements, then you may be reacting to something else. Hold off for a couple days and then you can make your decision then. Good luck !

At first consider applying every other night-if the irritation persists-then make it every second night and so on-I have heard of irritations from retinol products and have experienced it myself but not with this one. I would expect an irritation not a break-out from retinol usage.

It's a wonderful product-the entire line delivers what it promises.
My dermatologist recommended this line and I have seen the difference.
I have used Renova in the past and the truth is it is very difficult to use it
forever because you will be experience irritations.

Call your dermatologist-he is the only one who could answer this question.

I don't know where you live but if it's a sunny climate or a brisk weather state you skin may becoming irritated from the product. Try using it every other night instead of every night if that is what you do-and obviously use sunscreen in the day. All you can is try if it doesn't work then stop for a while and then go back using less.
