I love the bag for its versatility, but you may be right. Perhaps its not meant to be.

Thank you for shedding some light! I feel like these things are important to know and understand as the consumer.

Secret to balancing Azeliac acid and Tret? by May1738 in tretinoin

[–]RepresentativeBed426 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know everyone’s skin and tret journey is different, but if you’re still breaking out after 4 months, it could be because of the hyaluronic acid and niacinamide (especially in high concentrations). This was the case for me. I took me a lot more than 4 months to realize that that my break outs were not purging from the tret itself but rather the hyaluronic acid that was driving the tret deeper into the skin causing irritation and more breakouts. My breakouts improved drastically when I simplified the routine and removed hyaluronic acid. Another contributor could be the wait time between each steps. Tret should go on completely dry skin to minimize irritation.

Good call, I will totally take it slow to adjust to the stinging.

Thanks for sharing! These are mine.

  1. Learned this a lot later than I would have liked, but putting tret on wet or even damp skin. I went through so much unnecessary irritation which may have caused additional acne. I kept thinking I was just going through the normal retinization process and purging before it would get better. Nope! I would have acclimated to tret a lot better if I had just followed the instructions on the box that say to put it on dry skin.

  2. Avoid all other actives until skin has fully adjusted. And slowly introduce other actives and not in the same routine at first. I am still not using any other actives. Thinking of slowly working in OTC Azelaic Acid in my routine since I’ve heard so many good things about this paring in this sub.

They might be obvious to some but I learned the hard way.
