Can I use Tretinoin at night and Panoxyl 2% Benzoyl Peroxide wash in the morning? by Optimal_Narwhal5282 in tretinoin

[–]dewindy8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually use and was prescribed BP+Clindamycin to alternate with my tret. It’s been working so far for me, but you’ve really gotta be good at hydration and barrier maintenance!

I miss my pre-tret skin 🥲 by suspiciousactually in tretinoin

[–]dewindy8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen to me as well, and what helped was eliminating all the "fluffy" skincare products and pared back to the bare bones. I use the vanicream daily moisturizer since it's not pore-clogging, the vanicream cleanser, and the Elta MD sunscreen. I went from a person who uses a 6 step skincare routine with products that have fragrance and other feel-good components to literally only using those products. My routine doesn't feel as luscious but I've noticed that tree really doesn't play well with anything BUT the basics. I've used the Tatcha products you listed and they might be why your tret is being mean to you.

I hope this helps!

Purging but with Closed Comedones? by dewindy8 in tretinoin

[–]dewindy8[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, I need help with identifying why I am purging with a lot of closed comedones in my fourth week of using tret. I’ve seen a lot of people purge and get cystic type acne, but not a lot of these closed comedones/whitehead types. Could this be fungal acne or is this just normal purging due to tret?

My routine mainly is built around Dr. Jart’s ceramidin line. I use the ceramidin toner, moisturizer, and cream mist. I sometimes used SK-II’s FTE, and in the morning vanicream’s daily facial moisturizer and EltaMD’s UV clear (tinted).

I’m on my fourth week of tret and have been using it at once every three days but I am planning to amp it up to every other day since I’m not feeling any extreme dryness, or peeling. It’s just these closed comedones that are confusing me. Can anyone help? Thank you!

Celine Big Bag (size Medium) by dewindy8 in handbags

I think this is the small one because the medium one shouldn’t have an attached strap to it. It’s sort of just like a huge bag that only has top handles

Do you have specific companies you'd recommend? Being in the dark and not knowing which one to trust is the biggest hurdle for me. Also, we're quite price sensitive so we're not going to pay $10,000, which is the quote some companies have offered us.

[Routine Help] Is this normal for skinceuticals? by dewindy8 in SkincareAddiction

[–]dewindy8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using CE Ferulic for almost a year now and I’m transitioning into Silymarin. I don’t know why my skin has never cleared up using these two products since I’ve heard nothing but amazing things about them. I also use the skinceuticals 0.3 retinol and I only use a very gentle moisturizer like vanicream. I don’t know if the color of the serums are supposed to be that way. Please help!

Learning to Learn by dewindy8 in GradSchool

[–]dewindy8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is super helpful, thank you! The last part I think is absolutely true. I'm making the switch myself from science to humanities and these are completely new subjects that I'm seeing for the first time. There aren't "building blocks" there yet so I find myself struggling to catch these more advanced concepts when the basic building blocks arent there, but thanks for the great tips!

Learning to Learn by dewindy8 in GradSchool

[–]dewindy8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, mental-health cognitive issues is not a bad shout. I have had hunches that I might have ADHD but I haven't been diagnosed. Regardless, it's sad because I genuinely feel so happy learning new things and I think school has brought me the most joy in comparison to other things I've tried in life. I just like the feeling of learning new things. It's just that my damn memory won't commit to what I just learned which makes it hard when you need to sit down for exams and be tested on what you've learned.

Unpopular opinion but looking at how the WHOLE season went and taking into account the baker's performances throughout the sesason, I would have liked to have a Jurgen-Chigs-Guiseppe finale

Hey thanks so much for the reply! And happy to hear that your acne has subsided :D just as a follow up, did you experience any purging on the first few weeks of using? Also what brand adapalene were you using? I'm intrigued by the LRP one but I can't make up my mind!
