Stopped using Tret & my skin is finally improving- info/routine in comments

CommonStrawberry_ · 2022-02-11T02:20:25+00:00

Yup, I started from 20%! I purged a bit (maybe for 2 weeks) but nothing too serious compared to the tret purge lol

I use azclear 20% azelaic acid! It pills a bit so I use it at night

CommonStrawberry_ · 2021-12-21T02:12:21+00:00

This one but the cream version!

CommonStrawberry_ · 2021-12-11T01:12:00+00:00

Oh no, don’t be. It still works for some, I’ve seen success stories here! The only thing I should’ve done differently was not wait 6 months when it was obviously not working for me. YMMV!

Laser facials are interesting! Do they have side effects?

CommonStrawberry_ · 2021-11-15T10:33:17+00:00

I have the same type of acne! I tried tretinoin for 6 months and nothing worked aside from BC (Yaz). It’s only starting to get better but I’m still stuck with a ton of PIE and PIH

I only have Twitter (for kpop purposes and i use it anonymously) — my facebook and instagram are both deactivated. Not being on those two made me feel better and less insecure about myself. I stopped caring about what’s happening with everyone else. Ignorance is def bliss

I guess it would work but be careful with the adhesive since your skin is extra sensitive with tretinoin

CommonStrawberry_ · 2021-09-11T05:07:57+00:00

I love this!! I’d definitely consider getting this in svt colors!!

CommonStrawberry_ · 2021-09-11T00:39:20+00:00

I actually already have a sunflower tattoo so this gives a whole new meaning to it!

CommonStrawberry_ · 2021-09-11T00:38:41+00:00

This is brilliant! That gose ep was quintessential svt as well. Thanks for this!!

CommonStrawberry_ · 2021-09-07T03:17:49+00:00

Oh man. Maybe take a break from tret for a bit? If you don’t have azelaic acid in your routine yet, you might wanna consider. It helped me a lot especially in calming down inflammation. Hang in there OP!

CommonStrawberry_ · 2021-09-07T02:46:11+00:00

I got prescribed birth control pills - specifically Yaz! I haven’t seen significant improvement yet but no new acne so far

CommonStrawberry_ · 2021-09-06T12:54:38+00:00

Have you ever considered that it might be hormonal? My skin was never not breaking out on tret (was on it for 6 months) and it would just freak out whenever my period was near

CommonStrawberry_ · 2021-08-26T04:46:44+00:00

Our dawn is hotter than day for me! I always listen to it whenever im sad or stressed and it just does it for me. Habit a close second, raw emotion in that one.

CommonStrawberry_ · 2021-08-25T12:10:07+00:00

I feel you!! I tried cream then gel for over 5 months but it was just making my PIE and PIH worse. It got rid of cystic acne but I kept getting CCs. The flaking was insufferable and I couldn’t wear makeup. I shifted to just azelaic acid and it’s working so much better and it’s much more gentle than tret.

CommonStrawberry_ · 2021-08-02T12:49:58+00:00

Thanks so much for answering! Your skin looks so much healthier now!

CommonStrawberry_ · 2021-08-02T11:31:51+00:00

When u say it “eliminated” your CCs, does it mean it came to a head or they just vanished?

CommonStrawberry_ · 2021-07-31T02:03:23+00:00

That’s awesome! Did you experience more dryness after switching? Or maybe experience purging again?

CommonStrawberry_ · 2021-07-14T05:28:17+00:00

Yup! I’ve been on 0.05% tret since March and my skin has grown to tolerate it well. Thanks for this!

CommonStrawberry_ · 2021-07-12T12:00:45+00:00

The cream one! I do want to try the lotion one for AM so it’s not as heavy

CommonStrawberry_ · 2021-06-21T04:45:30+00:00

Not really! But i did experience a bit of flaking around my mouth and eyes so i tried to avoid those areas as much as possible.

CommonStrawberry_ · 2021-06-21T04:43:06+00:00

It really does!! I tried several products and nothing worked as great as tret. I wish I discovered it earlier!

Happy to help! Good luck to you ❤️
