What brand did you use ? Having burns on a 0.1 retinol is wild, the softer dosage is 0.3, are you sure it's not Tretinoin ? Because yes tret at 0.1 literally burns the skin

Buy only Tret at 0.05%

@Clone if it is retinol you have a crazy allergic reaction, try softer version like retinAl or an alternative like bakuchiol

No, steroids users use Tretinoin to get rid of back acne/scars, stop quicker aging on face due to steroids abuse, and fight hair loss (due to steroids abuse as well)
You probably don't need Tretinoin, better choose retinol my g
 
my but i have acne
You don't have acne from steroid abuse, you should still use retinol, way less irritating
Tret literally burn the face if managed incorrectly
 
Other side effect is that when you put water on the burn it burns more and makes white flakes on skin

Apply tallow on the burn area to heal, hydrocortisone will still burns you
 
get vit A from food tbh
Actual retinols are useful though
