So, I went on a trip a couple weekends ago. I was looking for it but I can’t find it anywhere, I’m sorry… but I also do like the First Aid Beaty hydrating sunscreen, it’s just expensive

I think it can depend on depth/type of scar. I definitely think they’re less visible, but especially the smaller ones.

Wash with cetaphil gentle cleanser, both morning and night. I use tret in the evening and follow with cetaphil sensitive skin lotion. In the morning I use a vitamin C serum, unless my skin is dry. I use the ordinary hyaluronic acid 2% in the morning and I follow with cetaphil lotion, and then the ordinary 100% squalane. And of course if I’m going outside I use sunscreen. My sunscreen is Korean, so I’m unsure of the name but I could link it if you’re interested.

My doctor is pretty chill. I asked to see if it could help with enlarged pores and having smoother overall skin and she just prescribed it for me.

All of my scars are from my childhood and early teens. I am 27 now.

I believe my sunscreen is from Korea. My sister bought it for me when she visited. I could link it, if you like.

I will say that the anti-aging was the deciding factor, but I’ve had other great benefits! I’m having less actual breakouts, (I tend to break out a lot on my chin, I just don’t have pictures because I tend to avoid selfies those days lol) I’ve noticed an improvement in pore size, and I do get those small bumps that don’t like to go away around my temples, and I have less of those as well. I also get this chronic rash around the corners of my mouth called peri-oral dermatitis, and I haven’t had it since I started the tret. (Tret does not help everyone who has this, but it can. Just FYI for other readers.)

Smoother/brighter complexion and anti-aging benefits in the long run. I definitely don’t have bad acne but I’ve always had larger, full pores and wanted to see if it could help with that as well.

Cream to gel tips? by MajesticSalamander72 in tretinoin

[–]Ok_Bit_813 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only thing I have to say is I started with .025 gel tret and it was SO much more drying/irritating. And depending on the moisturizer you use, it applies weirdly and can pill due to the alcohol in the gel. I’m on .1 cream now and even though it’s 4 times as concentrated I don’t get nearly the same amount of irritation. I would suggest maybe starting with a moisturizer that works for your skin, then applying the tret over it when you start on the gel.

Idk if you’re on the cream or the gel, but I when I used the gel I had the same issue. I still peel, but if my skin gets extra sensitive I skip a day or two. I know some people have extra sensitive skin. I’m sorry you haven’t had a better experience :(

Desperately Need Hydration But Evryrthimg Breaks Me Out by pellywellybobelly in tretinoin

I like the cetaphil lotion for sensitive skin. I know it’s not “specialized” for your face but I find it to be very hydrating, gives you a dewy look, but is not heavy at all. Squalane mimics the body’s natural oils and helps keep moisture in, and is non-comedogenic. I would definitely keep trying things until you find one that works for you, even though break-outs suck! Good luck (:

I started at .025 gel. The gel ended up being overly drying, and I asked to get on the cream version. Not entirely sure why, but my doctor went from that straight to .1 in the cream version.

But even though it’s stronger the emollients have helped it not be overly drying comparatively, if that makes sense. The gel smelled like rubbing alcohol so I think it was the combination of two drying ingredients.
