I'm beginning to think I'm too sensitive for retinoids - even though I test a DSPW, my skin really fits the description of DSNT, if I overlook my freckles. Out of all the descriptions, DSNT is the one that fits the best in terms of reactivity and sensitivity. The W score is because I smoked in my younger days and 2 vacations in Hawaii where I stupidly tried to get that Hawaii tan - silly me! Anyway, my skin has been so reactive the past two days that there's no way I could use a retinoid tonight, which would be the third day. Maybe I could shoot for once a week? Would that be enough to help? I may just throw in the towel on the retinoids for awhile until I don't react to everything under the sun and can comfortably wear a sunscreen. I may be jumping the gun a bit.

I am going to get a scrip for metrolotion though. Even though the derm I saw doesn't think I have rosacea, I have too many of the signs - the fact that he couldn't see the rosacea is more of a testament to keeping it under control with proper medication.

Anyway, anyone here too sensitve for retinioids?
