How to start with DermaQuest retinoids

The three RiQ concentrations are not just marketing, but a real path. You start with 0.2% twice a week, observe your skin for a month, and only then increase the frequency, followed by the concentration. Jumping straight to 1% on unaccustomed skin usually leads to irritation and discontinuation of the treatment—the exact opposite of the intended effect.

Apply retinol only in the evening, on dry skin, and always pair it with sunscreen in the morning. If stinging occurs, use the sandwich method: cream, retinol, cream.
