Skin damage or dryness?
My skin has a weird dry, shiny, scaley texture on my cheeks under my eyes.
I have always had dry skin, but this texture is relatively new. I'm worried that it's some sort of skin damage as I've been using retinol products for some time (although only up to 0.5% in squalene).
My current routine is
Cerave hydrating cleanser
The ordinary retinol 0.2% in squaline (PM a few times a week)
Cosrx snail 96 (occasionally)
The ordinary hyaluronic acid
Clinique dramatically different moisturising lotion
Thank you
