Two months ago I began to notice my skin looking very dry & old, which has led me to stop using a new makeup I'd purchased at that time that had "alcohol denatured" as a main ingredient. I now use retinol 2.5%, but my skin is getting worse. My question is, could the makeup cause this, will using a CeraVE niacinamide moisturizer fix it, and would an IPL photofacial help create fuller cheeks or smoother dermal layer in the forehead if it's not the moisture or the makeup that are the problem?

Answer: Skin Quality Boosters Can Work Well For Crepey Skin
The appropriate skin care regime should be recommended by your treating physician since everyone has a diffent skin type. As a rule of thumb my suggestion would be a good quality Vitamin C serum followed by a peptide moisturizer. Do not forget a good quality sun block.
Love your skin.
After an IPL laser treatment the hairs will grow back as usual and then immediately fall off. It can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks for you to start noticing the hair shedding.
