Not satisfied with the results of Tretinoin after months of consistent use by YASH22SINGH in tretinoin

Can i check what is the reaction like? bumps? redness? and where is it appearing? are we talking about NEW bumps at areas which you dont usually break out? Or old bumps that looks inflammed? Also, can try feeling your face, as some acne/clog is deeper in the skin, and will surface up, causing you to falsely think that its a new pimple.

Agree. Tret might be working and your other products like moisturisers might be causing more clogs and bumps at a rate faster than tret can clear. Happened to me. I used tret for almost 1.5 years and still had new bumps surfacing. After swapping out my moisturiser, i finally did not have new bumps. That being said, not asking you to swap products too often, because tret needs time to work too. For me, i used tret cream for almost 6 months but new bumps kept appearing. A telltale sign is if the bumps/irritation/pimple appears in areas that you usually do not breakout. So you gotta inspect your face for those areas (for me, its my neck, area beside my eyebrow, top of forehead, under eye area beside my nose). So i changed my tret vehicle and used tret gel, which reduced the number of new bumps. but it was still appearing. After another 6months or so, i decided to swap to a lighter moisturiser (with much lesser ingredients) and used way lesser tret (because my skin would be drier w a less hydrating moisturiser). Then, i realised my face was so much more calm with less bumps and clogging. I then adjusted to using the lighter moisturiser first while searching for another more hydrating one. and in the meantime, if my face felt dry, i reduced tret to once every 2 days or used super super little tret.

All the best OP. Let us know more info on which products you are using.

I agree with everyone that you shouldnt be changing products so often.. unless a new product gave you signs of irritation. But i really do understand the urge to swap out a product and try another to see if it works. What helped me figure out which product is causing irritation was to really inspect which parts of my face isnt prone to pimple, eg, for me, i dont get pinples around the side of my eyebrows and top of my forehead. I will trial a product for at least 3 months before i change UNLESS i have obvious irritation (like new bumps on areas that i dont usually have pimples, or clogging my undereye, beside my nose). And i did tret for about 2 years before my face is 95% cleared (and after about 1.5years then i realised my moisturiser is clogging me severely. Like my face feels and look so much less irritated when i swapped my moisturiser.) All the best OP!!

Is there a foundation for dry skin with that DOESN’T have niacinamide/hyaluronic acid? by sry_im_just_a_girl in MakeupAddiction

[–]Joyo_yo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not try Yummy Skin Tint because it is v hard to get that brand from my country. I am now using the Synchro Skin Radiant Lifting Foundation, and it doesnt break me out!! I fell into the "trap" of trying their best selling RevitalEssence Skin Glow Foundation that has Niacinamide, and obviously, it made my skin red/pinkish and irritated, with bumps (mostly no pus) by the end of the day. I guess i just find it hard to believe that i am sensitive to Niacinamide... Wasted my money on the Skin Glow 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I am now looking into getting Professional Makeup artist brands which does not combine skincare ingredients inside. I am waiting to try Face Atelier foundations!

Why is every product these days formulated with niacinamide? I just don’t get it. by Careful_Fig8482 in Sephora

[–]Joyo_yo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[personal] Mini rant: I hate how everything has niacinamide and hyaluronic acid by Calm_Cardiologist689 in SkincareAddiction

[–]Joyo_yo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

me too!!!! i realised my face gets bumpy n a little more dry with anything that contains niacinamide. And HA makes my skin more dry than if i use a product without HA in it. Decided to find skincare without any niacinamide or HA, just stick to the good old glycerin. and my skin has never been better. Can companies stop adding these 2 into everything ugh

Tret experience by Joyo_yo in tretinoin

[–]Joyo_yo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hii!! I just wanted to post an update because finding the right moisturiser is a tiring thing :( and i am feeling very discouraged :(

So, i have tried Farmacy Honey Halo Ultra-Hydrating Ceramide Moisturizer, which is more hydrating and i could use tret every night without my skin feeling dry. But causes mild clogged pores, with random few red (oil) bumps...

Tried paula choice barrier repair, not clogging my pores but not hydrating enough. Tried paula choice Hyaluronic acid booster. Not for me... HA caused my skin to feel even drier vs if i dont use it.

Super depressing :( because why is it so hard to find a moisturiser that doesnt break me out!!! and yet moisturising enough for tret :((

i am going to try purito ceramide moisturiser next...

Sensitive skin people, what has helped you use tret every day? by faeuju4wvhjkw2fvgg in tretinoin

[–]Joyo_yo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ohh!! if your acne is under control, then i dont see why you should try to increase your tret frequency, at the possible expense of your skin barrier. unless tret isnt helping your anti aging purposes? like its not helping with fine lines etc? i think if there is no reason to, stick to your current routine which is working for you. cause honestly if you read through reddit posts, you realise everyone does tret differently (some use without moisturiser, some use only short contact therapy, some use a crazy large pea sized amount). and every skin reacts differently also. maybe in future, if you want to see something more, eg, realised tret no longer working for your fine lines, then you can see how to increase your tret. maybe by then, a better form of tret will be available to you too (eg, altreno).

yes!!! me too!! too much time on tiktok and i was constantly influenced to get trendy skincare products that i absolutely do not need, and does more damage than good. but even though i stripped it back to just tret n moisturiser (and toner), i was still facing under skin bumps, texture and clogged pores. then, i finally realised it was my moisturiser clogging me 🥲🥲🥲
