I've used retinol a twice in a fortnight, OCM in the mornings for the last 3, and L'oreal gel wash which has Sycicylic (sp?) acid in, today I put some foundation on and my skin has gone very patchy as if put foundation on dry skin, but I can see its where the very top layer is coming off, not red or anything so I assume this is just an old layer literally peeling off?! Have used Vit c, jojoba oil and SPF15 moisturiser so skin isn't dry

| Dryness and flaking is quite common when first starting retinol, even if you've only done it a couple of times. Since your gel wash also has salicylic acid in it, that's also on the drying side - so yes, the peeling is probably a normal side-effect, especially since you're not red or irritated. |

Thanks Stardust, looks awful with make up on, I don't usually wear it, aside the peeling some underskin 'spot's on my cheeks have almost gone!
I wasn't worried per-say, but think I'll just use Dr H CC and joboja oil tonight, (after taking make up off) give my skin a rest!
