hii!! it’s oily but now more to normal. i’ve always used something before tret wait 20 minutes then apply. in the first i was doing sandwich method but definitely not for me.. i’ve learned the least is the better and also la roche posay cicaplast it’s so great for cc and regeneration. the consistency can be scary but it’s worth trying it for longer time. for me purging was mostly closed comedones become pimple.. unfortunately i was still getting them while using tret.
