[Routine Help] Retinol Question

Beauty Tips For Body Care
FYI I’m a 30/female with combo and sorta acne prone skinI had been using The Inkey List retinol serum for ~4 months (first retinol, had been using bakuchiol before). While I had an initial improvement in my skin, over the last month I feel like I’ve regressed - more acne, lines more pronounced, etc. I didn’t have an initial purge period, no changes in diet/stress/etc, and I’m wearing SPF more than before. My initial thought was that I needed to try a different retinol serum (trying Asarai, definitely social media influenced, unsure of potency), but my skin continues to worsen.Is this because I’ve switched to a less potent retinol? Or am I using a more potent retinol and going through a purge period? What retinol products do you love? Do I need something more potent?
