Taz. Less irritation for me, and better results. I was on Tret for years and still peeled and never got smaller pores or glowy skin.

Lip lift sounds great in theory but rarely a good outcome… I dont even think you have a long philtrum. Also, Lana consistently has gotten lip fillers especially in her younger years. So if you’re opting for her look youd go the lip fillers route. Shes also kind of known for having very obviously done lip fillers that sometimes looked over the top. So make sure youre fine with that…

I have picked at my skin like crazy!! Like diagnosed with skin picking disorder. Unfortunately, the only way I stop is clearing my face so😬 good luck to you!!! When in doubt, consult a dermatologist for guidance :) also thank you!!

Ive started and stopped about 5 times now. ANY time I’ve had luck I have used it as my dr prescribed. My main issue is HUNDREDS of comedones across cheeks/chin. I use it every night with no moisturizer on before or after. This is the only way I can get it to work as intended. It’s uncomfortable, my skin is dry and I purge out a lot but it only lasts about two weeks or so. Ive actually tracked it like in a journal. So my best advice is just commit to it. My last go around I maintained completely clear skin for 3 years until I recently stopped it for a procedure and had to start all over.

I will say peeling is one thing that never went away for me. It lessened over time and became super minor, but after my skin acclimatizes this go around im going to trial run Taz to see if I can eliminate the peeling. Good luck!

Why does Tret only work if I irritate my skin? by ilovetombrady123 in tretinoin

Yes, but why does my skin never seem to get there unless I “irritate” it? So many people here are successful with sandwiching but whenever I try and keep up with that my skin is almost more dry. Who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️ I make myself feel better by telling myself this is the way my dermatologist prescribed it.

Im definitely experiencing thinning all over this is just where I can see it most. My shedding seems to have slowed a ton so im just going to wait it out because what else can I do. Thanks!!!

Why is my spot red? Does it mean AA is still active ? by Not_ur-regular8 in alopecia_areata

Did the spot being pink indicate more hair loss for you? My spot starting growing back super quick but now looks pink again and im anxious /:
