Hi,

I have been using Green Cream for a couple of weeks now. I started with level 9 because I have been using a weaker retinol (Roc and also an AHA) for the past year. I started out using GC every other night and then went to using it for 2 nights and then taking a break for one night. I have not had any adjustment issues (redness or irritation) and for the most part, my skin is looking better. However, I have noticed that my pores seem to be getting more noticeable. I know this isn't possible, but it almost looks like they have increased in number and are running together in places. I was wondering if this is part of the purging or adjustment period, and will it improve with time?

Thanks,

Karen

Karen,
What you are experiencing is completely normal and though blemishes may not be forming, it is your pores going through an adjustment process. I would stick with the routine you have and the pores should normalize. i would also point out that the warmer weather tends to enlarge pores as you sweat more. Things should settle down in a few weeks as long as you stick with the routine.

Thanks Kevin. I hadn't thought about the heat contributing to the problem, but I like to jog so that makes sense.
