Tretinoin help

Hi all, I have been using .025 tretinoin every other day for a bit more than 2 weeks and I have no issues with flakeness, dryness, itching etc. Maybe a little bit of redness the mornings after I use it. Do you think I should start using every day? Or wait a bit longer? Thanks!

With tretinoin being the magic ingredient in skincare, the fix all, be all. Your going to want to transition into using to tretinoin every night but only when your skin is ready. I started gradually, using it once in the first week, then twice the second week, then three times the third week and so on and that worked well for my skin with little irratation. If you have little to no irrational on your skin while using tretinoin that means it’s time to move up your frequency on how often you use it.

Remember that tretinoid is stronger than retinol, so building tolerance also takes time. I'm using tretinoid and the first week I used it for 1 day and my skin did flake a little, it made my skin a little sensitize. I reinforced the hydration and moisturizing of my skin, so the second week my skin did not peel. In the middle of that week I used it again, and I already use it every 4 days... Every skin is different.
