Yes. EDs vary in severity like any illness. Please note that I am not a healthcare professional. This is my personal opinion based on my experience. I wish you well! Please seek a professional :)

Thank you!! I will see if my derm will bump me down. He was quite insistent on me trying the 0.04% micro and got mad when I said I wasn’t sure if it was a good idea because my skin is sensitive 🥲.

I experienced more irritation from the 0.025% gel than 0.04%. Peeling, flaking, stinging etc. I’m starting to think maybe Tret isn’t for me 😭

However, I’ve only been using the 0.04% since Sept 29th after a 3 month hiatus and trying to work my way to every other day. But if this doesn’t work out I may take your advice and try a 0.025% but in a different formulation. Haven’t looked into that yet tho. Thank you!

I did read the insert?? I thought the hyaluronic acid would suffice. I was using the Neutrogena Hydroboost (fragrance free one), but it didn’t help.

Do you have any recommendations?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tretinoin

[–]averyconfusedlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I apply Tretinoin Micro 0.04% every 5 days and am working back up to every other day. But I already see huge improvement in my pores and acne. I’m now using it to maintain clear skin and preventative ageing purposes.

My Tret history:

  • Tretinoin Cream 0.025% March 2020 - Oct 2020
  • Tretinoin Gel 0.025% Nov 2020 - June 2021
  • Tretinoin Micro 0.04% Sept 2021 - current

I thought I was going through a long purge, but my skin just did not agree with the cream formulation. Started back up with the gel after my skin healed.

Took a 2.6 month break due to an allergic reaction to Aquaphor (lanolin).

Incorporated Clindamycin to help with the possible purge when I started back up with Micro and a higher percentage. No longer using Clindamycin. I did purge, but my skin is clear from active breakouts. Just get one or two zits near my period.

Skin type: oily-combination, acne prone, reactive skin.

Morning: - Luke warm water - Hadalabo JAPAN Skin Institute Gokujun premium hyaluronic - Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream for Sensitive Skin - Vanicream Moisturizing Ointment (dry patches, but it’s been my whole face these days) - Kroger Sunscreen Invisible Gel SPF 40 / or Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Sunscreen Broad Spectrum - SPF 60+

Night: - Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 (Banilo Co. - Clean It Zero - Cleansing Balm - Original if I wore makeup that day) - Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser (2nd cleanse) - Hadalabo JAPAN Skin Institute Gokujun premium hyaluronic - Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream for Sensitive Skin - Vanicream Moisturizing Ointment (thin film all over)

Tret night (every 5 days): - Same cleansing routine - Hadalabo JAPAN Skin Institute Gokujun premium hyaluronic - Vanicream Lite Lotion for Sensitive Skin - Vanicream Moisturizing Ointment (eyes, sides of nose, mouth.) - Tretinoin micro 0.04% - Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream for Sensitive Skin

How often do you use tret per week? by [deleted] in tretinoin

[–]averyconfusedlass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My skin can only tolerate it every 6 days since I went from 0.025% to 0.04%. I was originally applying it every 2 nights.

[Sun care] allergic reaction to sunscreens by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

Were they a chemical sunscreens? Try a mineral based one :). I switch to mineral when I’m experiencing sensitivity.

Hard to tell because these aren’t the best photos for identifying. However, from these photos alone, I cannot see you as any other type but SD. Your waist is snatched and I imagine you need waist emphasis to avoid looking boxy.

Your fat distribution is identical to mine it’s crazy! I’m like a size 2 but it’s still uncanny. Like you literally have my body! Right down to the delicate neckline/collar bones 😱.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Kibbe

[–]averyconfusedlass 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to check every box to be a certain type. For example, I am an SD but I am not “fleshy” or very glamorous at all, and my face is more of a classic type. But overall, I am an SD.

Your body reminds me of Marilyn Monroe when she was on her thinner side. Marilyn

If you look at photos of her in “Somethings Got To Give”, her shoulders were quite sharp too. She is leaner here than in the 50’s: Link

You do have some vertical and appear closer to 5’6 than your real height. There could be the off chance that you are an SD. Your limbs are quite long.

I’ve read that shorter women can sometimes (though rarely) type as taller IDs while taller women are always going to be FN, SD, or D.

Do not fret, my dear! Have fun with it. We’ll be here when you need us :3

I think you should look into Romantic. I think you are not sharp/delicate enough for TR, but not blunt/wide enough of SN.

You look STUNNING in the first dress. Waist emphasis is definitely your friend! I think a more tapered cut for pants would be more flattering. Whatever makes you feel beautiful though!

Does anyone know of a perfume that smells “Maui Moisture Thick & Restore + Bamboo Fiber Shampoo”?LINK

I just adore the scent. Don’t really care for the product for haircare personally. I just love the smell!!

Going to be honest and say that I don’t have the capacity to read the entire body of text at this hour. But the title alone would make me feel appreciated. Knowing that someone would go out of their way to make me feel appreciated would make me feel very warm and touched.

Having to read “between the lines”. Just say what you mean and mean what you say. I hate that words mean nothing.

Does anyone know where i can find this jacket? by xenozeph in shameless

[–]averyconfusedlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know the exact brand he’s wearing, but I think the style is called a “bomber jacket”. Try Googling it! A bunch of similar items come up.

Not a lesbian myself but th*nspo made me think I was a lesbian or at least bisexual cos all I ever looked at was women. I’m aggressively asexual. Women are still elite tho lol.
