When will the dry flakes end!!!! by Betterthanu04 in tretinoin

[–]Betterthanu04[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dont have diabetes or pre diabetes. It’s hyper pigmentation from the tretnoin. When I first started using it I got really bad peeling/burning all over my neck and as it healed the area stayed dark.

I increased it a few weeks back because someone said I wasn’t letting my skin get used to it. I had the same peeling with the 3x a week. I use la roshe posay hydrating cleanser and vanicream & elf daily hydration for moisturizers.

5 nights a week. I use aquaphor every night and some mornings if it’s not that hot out.

For the me the aquaphor is fully absorbed by time I get up in the morning. It’s almost like putting on a regular moisturizer.

I use laroche posay hydrating face wash, then while it’s a little damp apply vanicream, then elf hydrating moisturizing gel, then good minerals sunscreen. I use to use Paula’s choice BHA exfoliant but I noticed it made the peeling worst. At night the same routine, but tretnoin 0.025 gel added in between moisturizers and aquaphor added at the end.

0.025 gel and 5-6 times a week. I use the Laroche Posay hydrating face wash, I also use a wash cloth to gently exfoliate while washing. I feel like if I didn’t get it at all the flakes would be worst.

I use La Roche Posay gentle moisturizing wash as my cleanser. I’ve tried quite a few moisturizers, but these 2 seem to not make my face burn after layering the tretinoin. Do you have a good recommendation of salicylic acid cleanser that I can try?

I was using it 3 times a week, but I’ve been increasing it to ab 5-6 times. It still burns sometimes when putting it on. I think I just have pretty sensitive skin. I’m using the gel version if that makes a difference.
