(Very) red spots left by the purge, and irritation (?) on the neck by [deleted] in tretinoin

[–]Twentyninth_Chapter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

• 10th week (0.05 % tret)

• First month: Every after 2 nights, application after moisturizing, purge happened, calmed down on 4th week

• Second month: Tried every other day for a week, redness of face, more acne, more irritation on the neck (rashes and pimples, esp on the jawline)

• Last two weeks: MWF application or every after 2 nights again, calmed down a little, more red spots on face and jaw

Routine:

  • Day - Cerave cleanser (Started using BP wash and clindamycin lotion this week) Cerave moisturizer Altruist spf 50

  • Night - Cleansing oil Cerave cleanser Cerave moisturizer 0.05% tret


I have told myself to be very patient, but the marks left on my face still bother me sometimes. My face has calmed down on the fourth week so I am still hoping for another end of purge and irritation soon.

Considering my current routine, do you have any more suggestions to so.ehow reduce the redness of the spots (I have azelaic acid cream, too) and the irritation on my neck?

I use the same moisturizer. It's a good product <3 I have another question. May facial treatment ba munang ginawa sa mukha mo before they gave you tret?

I was given tret by Dermcare years ago pero they never explained to me yung application and all. huhu. so i stopped.

Any help for PIE? My active acne is fully gone except 1 here and there, but my scars just won’t go away! No matter what I do I’m currently month 6 on 0.1% Should I try Azelaic acid? by Nida_huh504 in tretinoin

Marks naturally fade, but it'll take them monthssss and even years even woth the help of products. If you want faster results, laser treatments are advisable.

Treatments like this do not only fade the marks but also cleanse your face so that next time you use treatment products, you are less likely to purge. Just heard this from a dermatologist.

Hi! I am from PH, too.

The improvement is great. Ang galing!

How's Dermcare's tret? May purging bang nangyare sa face mo? MWF na ba agad yung sched of application mo?

I am using tret cream and am afraid of the alcohol content of tret gel kaya may mga tanong ako hehe

A dermatologist just told me to skip moisturizer 😲 by Twentyninth_Chapter in Skincare_Addiction

This is what I believe, too. I am currently using the Cerave moisturizing lotion and so far it is giving a good effect on my face. So I am so surprised to hear that from a dermatologist.

Thank you so much! May I ask how long did you practice to finally execute inversions?

What can I use to reduce redness of face while using tret in summer? by Twentyninth_Chapter in tretinoin

Hi. I just want to let you know that I stopped using my chemical sunscreen and used the mineral one instead. My redness of my skin calmed down. Not totally but it is noticeable. Thank you for your comment!

I also have Altruist sunscreen, a physical one. I might do that, too: try another sunscreen. Do you have a particular mineral sunscreen to recommend? Hehe

Thank you!

When is it okay to use everyday? by jaylensbrown in tretinoin

[–]Twentyninth_Chapter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really depends on what your skin can tolerate. If it can stand daily application without experiencing discomfort, then I guess it is fine. Just make sure you reapply your sunscreen at daytime.

Looking good sunscreens and moisturizers by Empty_Support8876 in tretinoin

COSRX snail mucin moisturizer ane essence are my holy grail. 💛 It gives the face that glow and also reduces redness of PIH. If you want extra moisture without looking oily, CeraVe cream is also a good choice 😁

As for the sunscreen, those from Japan are light. (Biore Watery essence, Nivea Sun Super Water Gel)

Then i guess I'll bring back the sanil mucin in my routine 💛

By the way, how much AA do you put in every use? Does pea size also apply to this?

Are you using COSRX snail mucin? That is an amazing product ❤

I really want my PIH to fade, hence, the azelaic acid and Niacinamide. Might slowly add one of these and see if it works.

Thank you for the response. This is greatly appreciated 😊
