How i use tretonin in my routine.

In my p.m. routine, I use a pea size amount of tretonin all over my face. I use a moisturiser before and after applying the tretonin. I started with 2 days a week and then I slowly build up the routine. Initially, I experienced excessive drying and peeling (you could also experience some purging according to your skin type). The peeling starts 2 days after applying the tretonin so be mindful of that and plan accordingly.

I used to be on Adapalene, a « sibling » of tretinoin 🌝 The link below is a full guide: « Tretinoin Wiki » to new tretinoin users, with products recommendation to use in your routines, experiences (with before/after images of people who used tretinoin) and more ! Hope it will be helpful :) 💖 docs.google.com/document/u/2/d/e/2PACX-1vRQmcAj-x5A8JIQygtW2Rg89uPsJPR5JLH_dLxLNCW4eazWW4i49bsrF0e2YYx10wx00ctaUnyvHfyD/pub

Never had peeling in my journey with tretinoin and I use it everyday, that’s because I focus on hydration, I use a hydrating cleanser, two layers of toner wait 10min tretinoin and then wait 30min moisturizer, it has to have ceramides Sunscreen is the most important step morning time

Never experienced pelling when using tretinoin and i used the sandwich method ,when I first started the treatment layering tretinoin between moisturizer(moisturizer~tretinoin~moisturizer ) to lower the risk of irritation /dryness my Retin-A days are 3 times a week, I avoid applying on wet skin and during the day, not to combine with other acid just moisturizer only and apply sunscreen during the day
