worked quickly for breakouts but was badly burnt
This product was effective in stopping my very frequent breakouts but I was badly burnt . Thinking of trying the lower percentage . and see if that works . I only recommended if you do not have very sensitive skin .

Accidentally frozen
Ive accidentally frozen my retinol in squalene , it got thick and icy, can I put it in room temperature and use it once it gets back to the liquid form or it will damage its formula ?
