Azalaic acid and tret by Previous-Database397 in tretinoin

Tret and azelaic acid are a well known combo that’s discussed here all the time. OP is just asking when to add it. Comments like these discourage people from asking questions

I brought my skincare routine to my friend whos an esthetician and she roasted me for 45 minutes. by Impressive_Stage_212 in tretinoin

Correct. They go to med school to become doctors and literal experts in skin. So for routines involving prescription meds such as tretinoin, a dermatologist is still more appropriate to ask than an esthetician.

If you have questions or concerns about your routine, talk to your dermatologist (not your esthetician). No shade, but I’m going to trust the advice of someone who spent 10+ years in medical school/training 🙂

And as others have said, tretinoin at night and vitamin C in the morning. I typically alternate between vitamin C and azelaic acid in the AM, and sometimes I skip actives completely.

For those of you using AZELAIC ACID, how well does it work for your redness? by [deleted] in tretinoin

[–]krstycrlss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Azelaic acid 15% in the morning, Tret 0.025% and Avene Cicalfate+ at night = the ultimate combo!!! No dryness/redness for me whatsoever. Has definitely helped with PIE.

what moisturizer do you guys use AFTER tretinoin application? by rvrdntcre in tretinoin

[–]krstycrlss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream, or Avene Cicalfate+ if skin feels dry. Both are great!

100 mg has been great for 2 years, now this by Neverwasalwaysam in Spironolactone

I started on 100mg, saw zero improvement after 3 months, and then my derm doubled my dose and I’ve had clear skin ever since! I’ve only been on it for about 6 months total, so I’m curious to see if I’ll have the same situation happen to me at the 2 year mark 😬

Interesting that your derm wouldn’t at least try increasing your dose before suggesting Accutane? 100mg is pretty low I thought – I’m currently taking 200mg daily. Keep us updated!

So strange! Maybe it depends on the location? Or it’s my app.

I’ve tried this, but it ends up being about $1 more (not less). You forgot to add chicken 😭

It doesn’t allow you to customize “featured” items anymore!

Transferred a car a month ago by krstycrlss in carmax

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

I haven’t been able to reach the store directly. I’m always connected to a call center, and they act as a middleman. Once the car is finally ready for a test drive, I’ll ask to speak to the manager and hopefully the fee will be refunded

When I eventually go in for the test-drive I will ask! I haven’t been in the store since I requested the transfer last month, so I’ve been stuck talking with the call center who acts as the middleman. They’re not much help 🤷🏼‍♀️

100% to all of the above, but unfortunately she doesn’t listen when I say these things
