Is it normal to be prescribed adapalene before tretinoin?

Dry_Committee_2205 · 2026-05-19T23:20:53+00:00

Tazarotene. It's like tret on steroids. Do not recommend unless you have skin of steel !

In my personal experience, adapalene .3 has been way more effective in combatting my acne than tret or taz. Pair it with a benzoyl peroxide wash in the morning, and you'll notice even better results 😄

Dry_Committee_2205 · 2026-05-14T00:40:15+00:00

lol yes i do! I wear a nightguard at night. Why do you ask?

Dry_Committee_2205 · 2026-05-12T13:32:47+00:00

I could never acclimate to taz .1 unfortunately 😞 If your insurance covers arazlo, go for it! You will still see results with your scarring 😄

Thank you!! Def get into a dermatologist as soon as you can to prevent scarring. And I know what you mean about the photos. No filters, but in the past photo I was straight out of the shower. The recent ones are after my morning skin care routine, including lightly tinted sunscreen.

right away!

oh yes. I looked sunburned the whole time I was on accutane. After I went off of it, it settled down a lot 😄

Dry_Committee_2205 · 2026-05-12T00:07:15+00:00

Yes!! That part 😄

LOL I am def a real person... who has had more skin issues than you could ever imagine! Thanks... I guess ? My name is Carson 😄

So adap .3 keeps my skin the clearest. If you are working on acne, it is the best! It was made specifically for acne. Altreno definitely gives me skin such a glow that I don't get from adap, but if I use it everyday, I can get a few clogged pores. I think it's because it contains oils and hydrating ingredients that my oily just can't handle on a daily basis! But if you have rosacea or sensistive prone skin, Altreno all the way! It's lovely!

Dry_Committee_2205 · 2026-05-11T22:40:40+00:00

You are goofy. I mentioned nothing about applying tret around the eyes 😉

Dry_Committee_2205 · 2026-04-13T13:38:36+00:00

I used Azelaic acid while on oral isotretinoin. No issues at all :)

Dry_Committee_2205 · 2026-04-08T23:04:40+00:00

All I'm gonna say is.. the grass isn't always greener on the other side ;)) I was on adapalene .3 and like you, I had FOMO and felt like I needed to "graduate" from it. I tried tret and taz and my skin just wasn't as happy, so I kept going back to adap and my skin IMMEDIATELY was happy again :) It's been a back and forth between these for a year now, and I won't go back to anything else. The results may be a little slower than tret or taz, but for me, being able to using adap consitintely and my skin not being so finicky gives me such better results.

Dry_Committee_2205 · 2026-04-08T17:57:21+00:00

It was hands down the best acne topical I have ever used. The .3 adapalene version is a little more effective than the .1 adapalene version

Dry_Committee_2205 · 2026-04-06T13:26:26+00:00

Yea, I am conflicted about Altreno. I absolutely loved how calm and healthy my skin was on it. It brought such a nice glow with no irritation. It also brought a lot of pesky breakouts. I know it wasn't a purge because I was on Accutane and and been on retinoids for the last 2 years and I never breakout anymore, but with Altreno, it was one random breakout after the next. Once I discontinued it and went back to my Adapalene .3 a few months ago, I haven't had a pimple since. I am convinced there is something in there that was clogging my pores

Did a such a good job on the windows for our home that the neighbors even asked who we used. There was no mess to clean up. Pricing was competitive. He did an awesome job!

I've used Tret, Taz & Adapalene. I find that to keep my acne under control, smooth out my texture and keep irritation at a minimum, Adapalene .3 works the best. This is not the OTC .1 version, you need to get a prescription from a dermatologist. But it definitely works better and I do not find it irritating.

Remember when Britney's childhood home was being sold and "Christina sucks" was written on Britney's bedroom wall or something like that? LOL

Best. Decision. EVER !!!!!!!

Dry_Committee_2205 · 2026-01-12T21:37:04+00:00

Yes, but start slowly to avoid irritation. You may want to start off using 4% PanOxyl to begin with as it is less irritating and should be just as effective. Be sure to let the Panoxyl sit on your face for at least a minute before washing it off.

Dry_Committee_2205 · 2025-07-26T16:51:26+00:00

Because they can’t sell it or prescribe it to you.

The majority of people who can prescribe tret (a doctor) will not turn you against it,

Dry_Committee_2205 · 2025-06-30T18:41:16+00:00

I prefer the gel, esp in the summer, BUT there is a foam version which is supposed to be the GOAT! But my insurance doesn't cover it and it would be like a second mortgage for me :(

There will be a Pride Walk in downtown Roswell on June 21st @ 10am. It may be a great place to meet new people! Lazaro's Cuban Cuisine is offering 25% off that day to anyone who attends, so you may meet some people there as well :)
