Yes,you can start retinol at night for pigmentation and large pores, begin with a low concentration, initially 2–3 times a week, then increase gradually. Use sunscreen daily to avoid irritation.
Consult dermatologist for understanding proper technique and use of retinol as it may cause dryness and burning if not used properly
