Hi beautiful gals,
I just started an upgrade to PSF 1% retinol. I love the texture. But I got to wondering...am I supposed to stop using it when my skin gets to where I want it? Should we give our skin a break once in a while? Or is this a staple product I will be using the rest of my life? Any advice? |

| according to the PSF site (in the retinol Q&A section) you should give your skin a 3 month break every six months . |

So if I have understand it correct. You can use retinol for 6 months and than stop for 3 months and than can use it again if you want?  |

Yup, quoting the PSF site (well, this is what they recommend for THEIR retinol product, not sure what it would be for other brands)
| Quote: |
To alleviate the possibility of temporary discomfort, we recommend applying our retinol product using a pulse treatment schedule. The Micropulse schedule is how you will apply the product on a daily/weekly basis, and the Macropulse schedule is how you will apply the product over a period of months.
Micropulse:
Pulse A - Weeks 1-2: Apply every 2-3 nights.
Pulse B - Weeks 3-4: Apply every other night.
Pulse C - Week 5+ : Apply every night if able to tolerate. If skin becomes dry, sensitive, or begins to peel excessively, revert back to Pulse A, and begin entire micropulse treatment schedule again.
Macropulse:
Cycle A: Apply for 6 months using micropulse treatment schedule.
Cycle B: Cease treatment entirely for a period of 3 months (90 days). Then begin treatment again, using Macropulse Cycle A.
