Can I use retinol if I have sensitive skin?Updated 2 months ago

Dr. Karam made it his mission to incorporate a moderated dose of active retinol into his hero product, Illuminate, to ensure that all skin types can reap the multitude of benefits without concerns of irritation. Along with aloe and encapsulated hyaluronic acid, Illuminate boasts a patented lipid complex blend that aids in soothing and hydrating the skin. This means that it is much more well tolerated by all skin types and less likely to cause irritation. 

That being said, some redness and dryness can occur when beginning a new skincare regimen (especially if using a retinol for the first time) and should start to subside up after regular use.
