"i am an aesthetician, if you use anything topical that makes your skin peel (anything prescription strength) do not wax. i suggest a 7 day break from any topical prescriptions like that before a face waxing. it doesn&#039;t matter if you only use the product on your chin and are wanting to wax your brows, your skin will likely lose a few layers because the retinol/retinoid is still in your bloodstream. 
i used differin in high school and it worked wonders, i am trying it again at 29 because my breakouts are getting more frequent. hopefully the purging process (when your underlying breakouts are forced to the surface and everything seems worse) isn&#039;t too bad. i recommend using an oil free moisturizer."
