I am currently using Retinol 0.1% and my skin isn't too bad, because I've used 0.035% and 0.5% before.. But it is peeling a little.. I am mixing it with moisturiser but I can't wear foundation because it looks cakey.. What can I use on my skin to exfoliate and get rid of the peeling skin so I can wear foundation again? :)

Honey, sugar, and olive oil mixture. Its natural, should have little to no reaction, and makes your skin baby soft.

I had the same problem and my dermatologist told me to only apply it to the affected areas since its suppose to help bring new skin in so if your putting it all over it's going to peel off the unnecessary areas and become irritated so I only use it twice a week and when it does peel I simply rinse my face with cool water and put on cetaphill moisturizing lotion:) hope this helps!

Aveeno, I've used it for years, by far the best moisturizer out there. Makes your skin soft and flawless
