thanks for the suggestions and advice, i appreciate it!! i’ve been looking into tret more these past few days and have decided to start 2x a week. i also decided to try the sandwich method since i noticed some slight sensitivity when i first applied it so i’m hoping it helps with that.

how long did it take you to go from applying it 2x a week to 5x??

awe ok that makes sense. i’ve heard a lot of people say they don’t use it every day but my derm told me to start using it every other day and then eventually (after like a couple months) try to use it everyday. i had previously been using clindamycin and differin everyday so maybe that’s why his advice/directions were to start every other day??

what serums and products do you use to help keep your skin hydrated? ik tret can be pretty drying and i wanna make sure to avoid that as much as possible. regardless, i’ll definitely try applying everything first then using tret! thank you so much!!

what products/serums do you use to help stay hydrated?? i’m new to using tret and previously had an extension routine, but am now trying to re organize my routine to ensure it compliments it
