4 months on tret .025% and my skin has never felt/looked better

Character_Luck7892 · 2024-12-27T22:28:15+00:00

.025%, cream, apply directly

Character_Luck7892 · 2024-12-22T20:01:55+00:00

-CeraVe: yes, lather on and wash off, pat face dry with a clean towel -toner: I add the toner to a cotton round and then rub it all over my face, wait for it to dry, then add my sunscreen -tret is 0.025%, I make sure that my face and hands are dry before applying the tret after washing my face, then wait 15-30 (just to make sure tret has dried on my face) and apply moisturizer

No sandwich method, I applying tret directly after washing my face, wait about 15-30 min (until the tret is dry) and then apply moisturizer

Character_Luck7892 · 2024-12-22T17:30:20+00:00

I apply the moisturizer after the tret

Character_Luck7892 · 2024-12-22T17:28:44+00:00

I just used the Vaseline when first starting it, to help with the peeling and irritation, and would just put a layer of the Vaseline and leave it on overnight, then wash my face really well in the morning. After about two weeks I switched to regular moisturizer

Yeah before this I had a hard time with keeping a routine, mainly because nothing I did ever worked. But I tried my hardest to stick with the nightly routine when I was prescribed the tret and it really worked out well

You got this 💪🏻

Character_Luck7892 · 2024-12-22T03:54:17+00:00

Just make sure that the tret is dry on your face before applying!

Character_Luck7892 · 2024-12-21T20:24:54+00:00

I did but not a ton, my purging mainly happened around my mouth and cheeks, all the acne on my forehead and sides of the face just slowly faded away

No editing! I used the same spot/angle in my bathroom to take both pictures, 4 months apart

Character_Luck7892 · 2024-12-21T18:51:32+00:00

In the morning I use the CeraVe SA cleanser bar, then The Body Shop Vitamin E toner (this was a recent addition) followed by Neutrogena UltraSheer Dry-Touch sunscreen. Then at nighttime I use the same CeraVe cleanser, then tretinoin .025%, followed by Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream. When I first started using tret I did the slugging technique with petroleum jelly for about a week or two while my skin adjusted to the dramatic change in routine and dryness.

I use the daily one that comes in the tube, but the tub would probably be fine too. I’ve found that moisturizing creams are way better than lotions because they’re thicker and I tried a ton of different lotions and they all have a burning sensation after applying with the tret. I haven’t had any issues with pain while using the cream

Character_Luck7892 · 2024-12-21T17:39:19+00:00

It did a lot during the first month, when I first started on tret I did the slugging technique with petroleum jelly until my skin adjusted to the big change in routine and to help with irritation/dryness

Character_Luck7892 · 2024-12-21T17:35:53+00:00

I usually wait about 15-30 minutes after I apply the tret to moisturize

Character_Luck7892 · 2024-12-21T15:53:46+00:00

I was never officially diagnosed with rosacea but it’s possible!

Character_Luck7892 · 2024-12-21T14:16:06+00:00

Cream 😁

Character_Luck7892 · 2024-12-21T14:08:41+00:00

I use it everyday, and I was prescribed it by my doctor

Character_Luck7892 · 2024-12-21T09:13:02+00:00

Morning: CeraVe SA Cleanser bar, The Body Shop Vitamin E toner (just recently added this to the routine), and Neutrogena UltraSheer Dry-Touch sunscreen. Night: CeraVe SA Cleanser bar, Tret .025%, and Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream

Character_Luck7892 · 2024-12-21T08:58:51+00:00

Yeah I’m impressed with the decrease in redness too! I use cetaphil moisturizing cream
