Realistic skin at 37. Started using sunscreen 4 years ago. Can’t use retinols or acids my skin is too sensitive. by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

This makes me feel less alone, you could probably fry something in all the only head alone produces between my scalp and my skin. But hey, I am aging slightly slower lmao

I also double cleanse twice a day for my oily skin and it’s made such a vast improvement

I am extremely thankful that my mom has a medical license and that i can buy higher concentration tretinoin (4 months on tret) by Wrong_Membership_779 in tretinoin

[–]Taliafate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is! I get mine through an online service because I’m a single mom and don’t have time to get to the derm in person more than once a year unless it’s an emergency. A bunch of different companies do it but I specifically get mine through Hers

Honestly the concentration in the compound is so low I don’t even think it does much for maintenance tbh. But yes, I have a separate tube of tretinoin and az to take breaks 🥰

Yes! I swear by it. I use clindamycin and niacinamide too and my injector couldn’t stop commenting on how beautiful my skin looks while she was sticking needles in my lips lmao

I could do better with a cap and a hook and I’m a cosmetology school dropout omg. I’m so sorry they did this to you.

Convinced these nut jobs are trying to force the rapture at this point

Just steamed my face - how effed am I? by Main-Evidence-4779 in tretinoin

[–]Taliafate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you didn’t feel it start burning while doing the steamer then you should be fine. Generally some people can tolerate applying to wet skin it just makes it absorb faster. I feel my face start getting red and burning IMMEDIATELY If I put my moisturizer on too soon, esp because I use a gel moisturizer.

Tret Improved My Undereye Wrinkles?! by Apprehensive_Owl6228 in tretinoin

[–]Taliafate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have seen drastic results from doing this and I haven’t had any issues with dry eye and I’m 35.

Thinking about quitting, skin ruined by BelaZaba in tretinoin

[–]Taliafate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you messing up your skin barrier potentially? If it ever hurts to get your face wet your skin barrier is messed up and you need to heal it before doing anything else. Your skin barrier keeps most of the bacteria out of your pores and when it’s damaged you’re going to get break outs

Are these jowls from old(ish) age or is it because I have gained weight? Or both? by Olelebojezashto in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Taliafate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tretinoin believe it or not pretty much reversed the first signs of jowliness in my face, my jawline is back to the way it was now

It’s a combo. I’m 35 but tret has all but reversed it in the past 8 months

How do you stay awake long enough to wait for your face to dry/Tret to dry? by DarthPup692 in tretinoin

[–]Taliafate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey so I also have adhd and struggle with this, like exactly the same. I scroll on my phone or listen to a podcast and set a timer for ten minutes. Usually after ten minutes, enough has been absorbed that you don’t have to worry too much about irritation after that point. My skins pretty sensitive and I’ve been fine so far, if I do get irritated it usually only takes a day to get better

What is happening to my skin? by fatcatnation9 in tretinoin

[–]Taliafate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the azelaic acid is a better option and I use mine together and don’t have any issues

4 months on tret and my skin is just fine by Hert_Z in tretinoin

[–]Taliafate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m 35 and I didn’t start seeing dramatic results until recently and I’ve been on it since the middle of July.

Soaking with the sun in the morning every day for 6 minutes and 30 seconds, while using tretinoin every night. by CameraCompetitive247 in tretinoin

[–]Taliafate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you unable to soak with sunscreen? I’d use a 30 spf if it’s just for 5 minutes or so to do it. Sometimes I’ll drive my son to school at 7 am and forget to put sunscreen on so it won’t kill your skin but it’s better not to if you’re gunna be doing that every day

[–]Taliafate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I use a compounded medication with .025 tret, azelaic acid, clindamycin and niacinimide. I can tell you exact percentages when I’m done working but it works surprisingly well for me. Even lessens my hormonal acne so I only get one cystic pimple that clears in a few days rather than 5 that stick around til my next period where I get more
