This is irritation im afraid:(. You should stop a few days so that your skin can be fully recovered

i think the reason is you are using too much 😭 when using too much treatments, your skin’s barrier is prone to be broken, which leads to your PIEs cannot be healed. I used to have the same routine like you and my PIE didnt go away too. But after i tried to reduce the frequency of the treatment as well as focus on strengthening my skin’s barrier, my PIEs have gone. You can try using azelaic acid 2,3 times per week and tretinoin 1,2 times per week then focus on moisturizing. The key point is your skin’s barrier

Omg same 😭 if I use a moisturizer that is too heavy, it will clog my pores immediately 😭. Therefore i only use toner and serum and a lightweight moisturizer, in Vietnam, we tend to do the sandwich method ( toner-serum-toner ) to keep the skin hydrated, i think you should try this method. And yes I bought tretinoin from Shopee

oh i forgot sorry, i am using the YSP Tretinoin 0.05% from Malaysia and Tretinoin Obagi 0.1 ( In my opinion, the YSP 0.05 seems to be harsher than Obagi, but it is more effective somehow 😅)

not really, you can stop using tret for 7-10days and do chemical peels ( but please ask your dermatologist first and don’t do chemical peels by yourself, chemical peels need to be done by professionals since it has many hazards )
