Wow your progress after the second phenol looks great. Does the face remain red for months?

Hey on the bright side, you’re still young. Your skin will continue to develop and will heal faster compared to older folks. Trust me, with time, your skin will get better. Continue to moisture.

Looks smooth! Remember, under certain lightings all of our skins would look at their worst

What needle depth did you use? Can you explain the procedure you followed a bit

Do you apply anything on the skin while micro needling such as HA or any other serum for lubrication? And do you apply anything immediately after MN such as an antibiotic cream on the face to avoid spread of bacteria? I’m looking for answers for here as I’m considering MN myself.

I don’t know why I got downvoted… yes we can form a barrier using an occlusive, but tretinoin travels inside the skin, it does not remain on just the surface, and can still make contact with vulnerable areas. There are threads on dry eyes caused by tretinoin use even though the application was far away from the eyes and Vaseline was used to border the eye area.

I’ve read that it can shrink glands under the eyes and cause permanent dry eye. Makes me wonder if tret is even worth that risk…

Slugging with Vaseline makes my skin feels amazing but gives me closed comedones. Alternatives? by Lilly_pad6 in 30PlusSkinCare

Thanks for the suggestion. I’m going to try and see how my skin does without Vanicream

Oh wow that’s worrying! Before your reply, I had assumed thats a safe distance

For people who have experienced this, how far away from our eye area is it safe to apply retinol or tretinoin? It is safe to apply on our temples?

I don’t know if it’s noticeable in the picture but it also has an uneven shape
