Hii lybrate-user, retinol serum can cause severe dryness, specially if your skin type is dry or sensitive or if it is used in large quantities. You must stop the serum and start with a non comedogenic moisturiser. If you want an anti aging serum, do consult a dermatologist for a customised regime according to your skin type.
