Which retinol serum to buy?
Hi, I'm 25 F and was prone to acne till by early 20s, I have some scarring and susceptibility to breakouts if I change my skincare routine or don't eat/sleep well. I have sensitive combination skin. Currently I use saslic ds as a facewash and use clindamycin after for breakout spots and then Neutrogena's oil free moisturizer for combination skin.
I've heard the importance of vit c serums in the morning and retinol in the evening. Is it really worth the hype? I'm looking for an affordable yet effective product in the market. Which one would you recommend, if you do recommend it? Thanks

Hello
Yes Vitamin C serum and retinol serum both are important but it's pretty subjective whether to incorporate these golden potions in your skincare routine or not
Vitamin C serum is certainly one of the best serum for this era, they are expensive because for maintaining certain stability standards they have to be costly. My tip is go for good vitamin c serum else don't incorporate. One of the mediocre range to go for is Eclat vitamin c serum
Maybe tretinoin which is belong to same family as Retinol would help you better with your acne breakouts though more details and relevant photographs required
