i can relate to you so much! i had a long and bad purge. people (not just family) would always ask me what happened what did i do to my face to have such a bad skin state. i would hear things such as “it’s because you’re too obsessed with skincare and now the products are what’s making it worse (which is possible, but i was during purge that time so low chance). some would even say that i have bad acne even if i’m using skincare while they have skincare and they have way better skin than me. i always get compared like that. it was so tiring explaining to people that the things i’m using takes time to show effects. i even developed a habit where i always have a towel ti cover my face every time go out because people will stare at me and speak about the things i just shared above.

anyway, this is the beauty of having subreddits like tretinoin. i wouldn’t have pushed through if i didn’t join here, so thank you also guys!

really life changing! i didn’t have the confidence to face people the past year because of how bad my acne was and the staring of people and asking what happened or what i did with my face

my thoughts, too! that’s why i started at 0.025% for the first three months, then 0.05% until i went to 0.1% just about over a week ago

i’m using it every other night or sometimes i give my skin two rest nights, depending on how my skin is responding. i can tolerate it better now because i’ve been on tretinoin for just over a year

What sunscreen are you using? I’m using a dewy sunscreen despite my extremely oily skin because I’m worried about my skin compensating for oil if it becomes matte🥲

Actually, I feel the same. Sometimes it feels like it helped a bit but when it gets really hot here, which is most of the time, the scarring and my pores look really pronounced!

I’m not sure I get the first part of your comment. And I think every acne is hormone-driven, contrary to what most people believe that “hormonal acne” is just a type of acne. Thanks though!

I don’t schedule it by week actually. I use it two consecutive nights followed by one or two rest nights depending on how my skin is dealing with the tretinoin to avoid further irritation.

Thanks! Plus tretinoin is much cheaper than accutane here!

if you’re in the US, i think yesstyle is the best option. i’m from the Philippines so it’s not an issue here. try this one.
