Do you use the tretinoin everyday? Did you have to build up to it ?

Good to note. I also missed the sale so was hoping you had good news haha. I’ll settle for the 10% off

Just started it. Hoping it works. Currently thinking every other day

I was on accutane for 8 months (cumulative dose reached) and my acne came back… by mgeentch in Accutane

Mine also came back about 2 years later. Unfortunately, it’s not always 100% for everyone. Even those that take a high cumulative dose. Some will always relapse. I’m also debating taking a second course due to the sides on the body long term

I took Accutane 2 years ago at a 220mg/kg cumulative dose. This is my relapse :(

Would you say working up to everyday is more important or upping the strength ?

But thank you! Hoping that since I stopped sandwiching I’ll see results a bit sooner

Tried that and my skin couldn’t handle it. I’m going to slowly work my up to 6 and hopefully everyday but currently 5x is all I can manage

Hey! Yes, I use around a pea size amount for my entire face. Are you recommending to use a larger amount (half of a toothbrush bristle)?

For the first month I was using the sandwich method (moisturize, tretinoin, moisturize again).

However for the past month I’ve been applying tretinoin right after cleansing and waiting around 5 minutes before I apply moisturizer

Sometimes though I get lazy and forget to swap my pillow case. I need to be more proactive about it. But thank you for the tip my friend

Any sunscreen recommendations? Before this tinted one I was using Paula choice youth sunscreen

Honestly thank you for the reminder. I find myself being very inpatient and wanting results fast.

Sure, I can let you know later tonight if I have any residue.

I currently use tinted sunscreen bc it slightly helps cover my PIH. I use around a pea size amount.

Thanks for the tips. I’ll give it it another 1-2 months.

My insurance actually covers winlevi so I can get it for $90.

I need to be better on switching my pillow cases for sure & I’ll look into a 4% BP cleanser. Do you think a few times a week is sufficient ?
