How Often Should a Retinol Serum Be Used in a Skincare Routine? Let’s talk about the “golden child” of skincare -  retinol.   You’ve probably seen it pop up on product labels, TikTok skincare routines, and in the holy grail lists of dermatologists everywhere.  But what exactly is it, why does everyone rave about it, and how often should you actually be slathering it on your face without waking up looking like a tomato?  Let’s break it down, no fluff - just the facts!
