I've been using tretinoin. 025% for a couple months now, and I see huge improvement in fine lines and reduced cystic acne. I used a gradual incline in retinol percentages to work my way up to tret. I have melasma so I just recently added the hydroquinone.

Ive established a solid routine, but am wondering what products you all find to compliment tretinoin.

tretinoin routine

I can only get it from Korea and shipping is expensive

Its the most pleasant experience. Seriously makes my heart and my face so happy. This product will forever be on my skincare shelf. It has transformed my blackhead prone skin, and I tried so many products that claimed to target blackheads and did nothing. My blackheads were embedded and a light nightly massage with this product was the trick. 
The way this product emulsifys is so beautiful, if you cant already tell it is HG for me.

Shipping from Korea is a little expensive but nothing compared to my pharmacy or like curology.

Got this from the chemist after my insurance wouldn&#39;t cover my derm prescription.  I&#39;m about 2 months in and starting my 2nd tube. My experience with dryness and peeling was minimal due to oily skin and oil cleanser, I was immediately able to include it in my nightly routine. I see a huge improvement in my complexion and wrinkles. I will use this product my whole life.

I use tretinoin, so the first time I used it I had to wipe off immediately...ouch.  Now that I am more adjusted to treat I can use it but still feeling the lactic acid sting a little which takes away from the calming experience.

I got these for fun but I&#39;m reordering for firmness. I just love the way my skin feels after using this mask and I find my makeup looks way better after its use.

Caused irritation if I used niacinamide or didn&#39;t allow my skin to dry completely before placed.

This product was so much more tolerable for me vs the retinol in squalane. I had little to no irritation when used independently and on dry skin. No pilling with moisturizer and definite improvement in fine lines.
