Hi guys, what do you do when your skin starts to get dry and ready to peel or becomes flaky while using skin lighteners?

Perhaps a little moisturizer could help.
Right now I'm using Retin A and I'm a bit dry and flaky which is perfectly fine with me since I do have combination skin.

As far as the flaking, when I wash my face with warm water in the shower I rub it gently in a circular motion and the flakes are coming off.

My skin has never become dry and flaky when using a skin lightener.

Thanks Nikki, I started using Retin A and it started to peel my skin too, but I have dry skin.

Your welcome.:)
I use Retin A in gel form, which is more drying, the cream has more moisture I've read.

That its weird, I never knew retin A was a skin lightener? My dermatologiest prescribed it to me for acne...

There are certain products that are not specifically made for skin lightening
But they do brighten up the skin and retin A is one of them.

It definitely speeds things up for sure and my skin is smooooth!!
