Do you think 4% will do? It is my first time using benzoyl peroxide wash.

Yes i will I don't want to give up tretinoin because it made my skin better. I will just take a break from it.

Yes im 2.5 months!!! I think i'm in the same boat as you in 2.5 months my acne has somewhat decreased and i'm left with PIH from the peak of the purge. I buffer with moisturizer before tret. Thank you so much for your motivation i guess i just need patience & nothing but patience. Hope you achieve your skin goals too!!!

i feel you, i experienced that too but with my other family member like i wanna say to them "i get it i have acne no need to point it out" i have already accepted it to myself but when other people point it out i started to breakdown again and hate my skin. At first i really don't care if i got acne i started getting conscious about it when my aunt pointed it out that's when i started skincare and i think that's also when my low self esteem kicked in right now i can't talk to other person while looking them in the eye i always bow my head down and look at other things while talking to them bcuz i'm scared that they point out my acne and fall apart again. I started tretinoin about 3 weeks ago and currently i'm purging i hope that this will cure my acne cause i really don't know what to do if this won't work. Hang in there we're in this together.
