Foundation separation because of Tretinoin?

Hello, I have been using tretinoin for over 2 years now. During those two years I have struggled to achieve foundation looking smooth on my skin, it instantly separates no matter if I use layers of moisturizer, water based primer and water based concealer/ foundation. I’ve tried everything and it still looks so splotchy! If I take a few days break from tretinoin it goes back to normal. I’m wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks they have for helping this!

Hm, this seems like your skin is surface dry but probably also dehydrated. Your skin should definitely be used to tret after 2 years. Maybe lessen the frequency that you use tret? But definitely add several layers of toner. Saturate your skin. It's called the 7 Skin Method. Then put on moisturizer. Avoid actives in the toner and moisturizer.
