What is in it that makes most people burn their skin? if it's reitnol then they need to lower to dosage.

Do not use retinol creams during Summer. When you use them apply them only over night. Sunscreen creams do not have Retinol. Use them during Summer then you will not burn.

As with any retinol product, go easy at first, perhaps always, depending on the sensitivity of your skin. I use it sparingly and just a few times a week. My skin is very sensitive, but so far I haven't burned my skin. I use the product and alternate with a exfoliate made with Emu oil. It works for me.

It is the retinol. If you are not used to it you need to slowly adjust by using only every other day, or starting with a gentler formula. A lot of people also use another product with retinol or acid (alpha hydroxy, salicylic, etc) this can cause a chemical reaction. Over time you build up tolerance (like drinking, though if I did less of that I probably wouldn't need this now). If it begins to cause redness or severe irritation discontinue til it subsides. Also make certain to wear sunscreen, retinol increases your risk of sunburn.

Dear Jill, Yes, it's the retinol that causes some of us to experience some burning or sensitivity in the first few days of nightly use. I asked my dermatologist about this reaction, and she indicated that the dosage of retinol in products is calibrated to be optimally effective in reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Don't give up! Her advice--which works: only use the night cream every third night for a week to 10 days. Then graduate to every other night for two weeks. This gradual approach acclimates the skin for comfortable use. You will see the product's benefits after a few nights' use. I confess I use both Roc wrinkle-reducing products (day and night) over a light serum, specifically Olay's Regenerist Serum. They are extremely compatible. Never get anything containing retinol near your eyes and, like the earlier writer warned, always wear sunscreen while using retinol. Roc makes a daytime retinol wrinkle treatment with an SPF 30 which is excellent. No, I don't work for Roc! ;-). I'm just an "old" woman who has used Roc creams for years and who finds they do an excellent job working in tandem.

The active ingredient is Retinol which causes a slight tingling on my face, I have normal skin. If you experience burning, you should discontinue use. You should also be careful to use this product alone on clean skin as if it is combined with some other products that also have an anti age active ingredient it will increase the sensation which could be described as a burning sensation

I have used Roc Retinol for many years and it has never ever burned my skin. And I have VERY sensitive skin, You could try using a serum, or moisturiser, underneath the Retinol.You will also need to wear a high SPF sunscreen DAILY. M.Ayrton

I would refer that question to your retin A prescriber. It may depend on your skin type, sensitivity to either product, strength of the retin A and other factors.

I am told the factor that makes daytime use a no-go in products is retinol. I have the list of ingredients in front of me and don't see retinol. Could it be called something else? All I know is that I've been using it day and night for more than a year and had no ill effects that I know of. My skin is very dry. I had to stop using the cleanser for that reason. I love the serum, though, and use it under the nighttime moisturizer day and night.

for me it is a faster burn, it did make a difference and I noticed I eat much less when I switched to this product, even though I took only 2 pills instead of 4, so it continues to work..hope that helps

I'm sorry! I think I misunderstood your statement. I thought you meant perhaps there is a dilution of the concentrate in the bottle itself. I do not think so. I only take it 2 T. at night, and I do not mix it, just chug-it-down. It's not so tart you can't drink it. I have serious insomnia, and, unfortunately, it does not help me in this way; however, someone else gives it to their child in juice and it does help her (2-3 yrs. old). I TAKE IT FOR ARTHRITIS AND FOR THE FIRST MONTH OF TAKING IT, EXPERIENCED NO PAIN IN MY LEGS. As long as that continues, I will keep on ordering it 3-4 bottles at a time. (Melatonin supplement does not work for me, either). I hope this works for you. I'm sorry! I think I misunderstood your statement.

I do not think it is more man, to be honest if I used just 5% peroxide my skin would go on fire, only thing I can think of why I have no problem with exposed is maybe other ingredients in it, I find it gentle. Good luck!

Also don't go over 30% for your first time otherwise you run the risk of seriously damaging your skin.

That can be several things - you could be allergic to one of the ingredients or if you (recently) shave your under arms it could cause a reaction, especially if you don't shave properly/carefully. I doubt it's the specific product though- it's very mild.

Not really Rachel, but I believe that most people don't take large enough doses to get the full benefits. The Weston A. Price website might have more info on this.

Sorry, my skin is sensitive. so after like 3 nights, my face became red. So you have to consider your skin type.

the one that I use definitely burns, so it must be sodium hydroxide. I have sores in my head right now! I will have to try the other one, the calcium hydroxide to see if that works better. thanks.

No, it is not normal. You must be allergic to it. I would stop using it if I were you. It doesn't do much anyway.
