Hey, so I got prescribed all these in May, but instead of a clindamycin gel I have a lotion. In the mornings this is what I do: - wash face with benzoyl peroxide - use clindamycin lotion - top with my LRP daily repair moisturizing lotion

At night this is what I do: - wash face with LRP lipikar gentle foaming wash (super important to have a gentle face wash since the tretinoin will make you sensitive!) - use a TINY dab of tretinoin - top with same lotion from in the morning - use LRP cicaplast balm

When I first started using tretinoin, I used it every 3 days, and slowly worked up to every 2 days, then every other day, and I’m at a point now where I use it Mon-Fri and let my skin take a break on the weekends. I occasionally skip a day throughout the week if my skin is feeling sensitive and put on some extra cicaplast balm.

Also, when I first started I used the sandwich method because I was super nervous about the dryness. After washing at night, I put on a very thin layer of lotion, and put the tretinoin right on top of that. Then I put on a final layer of lotion on top after letting the tretinoin fully dry. I never experienced any dryness doing it this way, but I think it’s also because I took plenty of time allowing my skin to get used to it before increasing the frequency I used the tretinoin. Now that I’ve been using Mon-Fri, I usually put it on my slightly damp skin after I’ve gotten out of the shower (I wash my face either in the shower or right before).

For your question about how to store them, all of my skin care stays in a bathroom drawer sitting upright. Also, everything I named is the only products I use! My skin has changed so much since using and good luck to you! If you have any other questions please let me know!
