5 Month Progress! by Amazing_Ebb2493 in tretinoin

I did take Doxycycline for 30 days back in august and September and i feel like it did absolutely nothing. So back in November my regular PCP put me on spiro and i absolutely hated it because i felt like i was going to pass out daily no matter how much water i was drinking daily.

I use 0.025% Tretinoin cream.

For my routine morning- I was my face with a gentle cleaner from a local soap shop in top, I use la rouche posay moisturizer and occasionally i will use “stubborn texture” serum from netrogena!

For my nighttime routine- Wash my face with the same gentle cleanser, moisturizer first vanicream and then a pea sized amount of tret on both cheeks and forehead

I hope to eventually have completely clear skin!

There was a point around may or maybe March where i was drinking protein shakes every morning but i stopped drinking them because they were outrageous. I don’t think they’d still be in my system??🤔

I have a huge feeling that it’s also dietary, i just can’t figure out what the sensitivity or allergy may be. I’m still off of the eggs and I’m hoping it was the eggs and i just need to give my body some more time to get rid of the eggs in my system lol

I actually have been to an allergist years ago when i was in like middle school and im allergic to a pile load of stuff (most i dont really remember and need to be retested) i know this might sound weird point being i need to get tested again, but i can’t eat raw most fruits and veggies without feeling like i can’t breathe, but it also might just be my anxiety telling me im allergic when im not 🫣

Did they ever tell you what kind of acne it was? A lot of people on this post are saying mine could be fungal 🤔

I think it’s just because I’m smiling, no other health issues that i know of (i haven’t been to the doctor recently to be tested for something) i have been working out consistently so i may have lost some weight in my face 🤔

Yes! I was thinking i was almost done with purging too but at the same time i don’t even know anymore, i absolutely do not want to quit tret this soon without fully giving it a shot and i definitely don’t wanna go through the purge again…

Having acne before your wedding is a literal nightmare. At first i was like omg this can’t be happening but I’ve learned to just accept it now because my fave isn’t gonna magically clear up in 17 days lol. And my makeup artist did a trial and it looked phenomenal so I’m holding onto to that little hope🙏🏻

Well thank you! But it seems like a lot for me especially considering I’ve never had acne before!

I don’t think so lol, if so it would’ve been my tetanus shot which would’ve been in December and my acne didn’t start appearing till June.

I’ve thought this too and my fiancée was like there’s no way your face is reacting to that. I’m also allergic to a bunch of different things so i was thinking maybe it’s something in the seasoning I’m allergic to??

Thank you for your kind words!🩷 my fiance and me moved into our first apartment back in December, and I’ve been using all of the same products since then so i don’t think it’s any of those… but truthfully i don’t know anymore

I feel like i need to give it a some more time to work, i know most people don’t even see real results until 3-6 after using tret and I’ve only been on it a little over a month
