Recipe: Colombian Ajiaco (Chicken and Potato Soup) Many years ago, I had a memorably boisterous dinner in the upstate home of a Colombian woman, surrounded by snow and filled with light.

Avoiding Retinol Serum Side Effects. Negative retinol serum side effects can usually be avoided by using the products properly. Retinol is one of the best anti aging active ingredients on the market today. It reduces wrinkles, fine lines, hyperpigmentation like age spots, and can even diminish acne scars. Most retinol serum side effects are mild and temporary. Normal side effects for proper use of retinol include dry skin, peeling, and sensitivity to other forms of exfoliation. Redness, irritation, inflammation, and raised patches are a sign that you are using too strong of a concentration.
Retinoid pills treat oil production, bacteria that cause acne, and inflammation. How to use: Smooth a retinoid cream over the skin once a day 20 to 30 minutes after washing your face. What else you need to know: When you first use retinoids, you may notice redness, peeling of your skin, or worsening of your acne.
