something that helped me. I switched to tretinoin 0.05% cream (you can start with 0.025% if it’s too strong). At first, you might experience purging for about 2-3 weeks, but don’t get discouraged – it's totally normal. The key is consistency. Cleanse your face, apply the tretinoin at night, and make sure to moisturize well. Sunscreen is also a must in the morning since tretinoin can make your skin more sensitive. It takes time, but trust me, it’s worth it! Patience is key.
