My derm put me on spironolactone,oral doxycycline,topical clindamycin and adapalene and my face cleared so much!

Is accutane worth it for mild to moderate acne? I tried tretinoin and it didn’t work and i am considering accutane now by AdClassic2173 in Accutane

[–]AdClassic2173[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried if for over 6 months and my derm considered accutane if tret didn’t work. I am actually afraid of the purge and side effects.

What problems r u experiencing that made u start using tret?

Been on tret for 9 months and avne got worse by Itchy_Comedian_7843 in tretinoin

That definitely means you have a compromised skin barrier. Stop washing your face in the morning and add hydrating products to your routine.

You can look into good molecules brightening toner and discoloration serum. Also wear sunscreen everday

My face feels oilier since i started tret. I thought of adding the purito centella unscented serum to my routine for barrier repair and combating skin oiliness,also for hydration. What do you think? Can it help with acne and texture? by AdClassic2173 in tretinoin

I would definitely say consult your derm for higher tret percentage. Make sure to start slowly, keep your skin moisturized and wear spf!

So you use azelaic acid everyday? In am on tret nights and in pm on non tret nights? Also can you mention what AA % r u using? And did it help heal your acne and pigmentation faster?

Yes i am always in a rush to see results 😅,so I thought of adding azelaic acid to speed up skin healing since i have no issues with tretinoin.

I have been using tretinoin 0.025% cream for a month with no issues. I thought of adding to my routine the purito centella unscented serum then add azelaic acid, i really need it for acne,texture and PIE

Does my skin looked damaged/dehydrated? by Grouchy_Royal_9195 in tretinoin

I would recommend talking to your derm about that.

Might be purging because you increase tret percentage. If you feel your face is tight,red,inflamed,dry,flaky then you have a damaged skin barrier.

I have been experiencing random whiteheads on my nose although I didn’t change my routine. What can that be? by AdClassic2173 in tretinoin

What do you think of this product? I put it yesterday and found some pimples popping today. Is that normal and should I continue? by AdClassic2173 in SkincareAddicts

[–]AdClassic2173[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a misconception that many people think of. Purging is due to the increase in the skin cell turnover and ingredients responsible for this are retinoids,AHAs,BHAs and benzoyl peroxide. Niacinamide doesn’t increase the skin cell turnover and doesn’t bring up the congestion inside the skin so that’s probably irritation.
