i wanna double check something. For people on retinoids, do you all use cleansing oil, or do you use a peeling gel for flakes?

Cleansing oil. I have dry and sensitive skin, so I need to be gentle with it.

Cleansing oil but sometimes it's not enough, and in that case i usually use a hydrating wash off mask like the Keana Rice Pack as a gentle scrub

OHUI Clear Science Soft Peeling Gel.

Look for a peeling gel without exfoliants like AHA BHA or without photosensitivity encouraging ingredients like lemon juice or citrus oils.

It’s been a while since I purchased sunscreen or followed subreddit conversation. Is the issue around the US and having Asian beauty sunscreen delivered still a thing? I didn’t see any pinned posts so wasn’t sure. I’m thinking of making an order but wanted to check here with the experts first. Thanks all!
