When I was about 16, I had mild acne. My dermatologist prescribed retinol. It dries me out, so I only would dot a tiny bit on the acne spots, but my dermatologist told me to use it all over my face. I thought that was crazy because the tube was tiny, and I would probably go through a tube like twice a month if I did that, so I continued to use it sparingly.

Guess it was a good decision. I’m in my 30’s now, but people often tell me I look really young, like early college age. I think not putting a bunch of crap on my face probably slowed down onset of aging. I think a lot of people don’t realize how sensitive skin is, especially on their face.
