Case Clinic Friday: Retinol Rebound

“One of my regular clients has been on retinol for a while, her skin looked incredible at first, but now it’s starting to look dry and tired. She hasn’t changed anything else in her usual diet, lifestyle or routine, just keeps up her nightly retinol.”

What do you think can be going on? 🤔
Could this be overuse of retinol… or cellular fatigue setting in?

Let’s talk skin science:
How does constant stimulation affect cell turnover and barrier balance over time?
And how would you help the skin reset, without losing those retinoid benefits?

👇 Drop your thoughts below. What’s your go-to strategy for a retinol rebound?

(Every Friday, we feature real client journeys shared by professionals, like you, in this community. These cases are meant to spark clinical discussion, explore treatment pathways, and learn from one another’s experiences.

👉 If you’d like to have one of your own clients (or even your personal skin story) featured in an upcoming Case Clinic, send me a DM!)
