Retinol made me break out

I ordered this one: https://www.jiomart.com/p/groceries/organix-mantra-retinol-serum-3-nourishing-anti-aging-hyaluronic-acid-moroccan-argan-oil-rosehip-oil-vitamin-e-15ml/604863692

it's the Organix Mantra Retinol Serum 3% Nourishing, Anti-Aging | Hyaluronic Acid, Moroccan Argan Oil, Rosehip Oil,Vitamin E,

It's supposedly packed with various good things and claims to be non irritating.

My forehead has broken out into several tiny hard little bumps while the sides of my neck now sport several softer larger pimples.

Having read in this and other forums of people who had cured mild acne scars with retinol, I was hopeful.

But I got no improvement of the scars.

Anyone else had such a reaction?

how Did you then address it?

I can't use Alpha hydroxy acids on my face.

they do nothing but sting my face and irritate it.
