hey I’ve always wanted to use tretinoin but I’m scared it will purge my skin. Did it purge yours?

actually, no it didn’t. when I started using Tretinoin I started with 0.05% Tretinoin + 1% clindamyacin + 6% Azelaic Acid. I was getting it from Curology. and I started to use it every night with only one night off from it.
the night off from it I would use The Ordinary 30% AHA + 2% BHA peeling solution.
my girlfriend is the same way. she didn’t purge really when she started curology (she been using 0.01% this whole time. so maybe that’s why? such a weak percentage might have helped her).
every month I would slowly bump my way UP a little more with the Tretinoin. about 2 months ago I talked to my doctor and he started to prescribe me Tretinoin in 0.025% and 0.05% and 0.1%. plus 20% Azelaic acid. and doxycycline pills. so now I can use whichever percentage I want for my face. most of the time I go with the 0.1% Tretinoin and I’ll use the 0.05% Tretinoin once every week or two.
I would definitely try out Tretinoin if I were you. it’s worked great for my acne and to help get rid of fine lines and wrinkles.
