help cant up my tretinoin dose?
hey guys :)
ive been using tretinoin gel 0.025% since february 16th 2026, i never purged and my skin doesnt look different now, it is just more sensitive!
ive used 0.025 (sandwich method) once a week for first 6 weeks, i keep trying to work up to 2x a week but my skin barrier gets so damaged that i need to reduce the use back down to 1x a week.. should apply onto red/flaky/patchy skin? any tips or advice?
(i attached a pic how it my skin looks after 2nd application per week)
am routine:
wash with water
weleda almond sensitive face cream (the only moisturiser that does not burn on tretinoin!!!!)
beauty of joseon sunscreen
i only put make up on my eyes & brows
pm routine:
avene xeracalm cleansing oil
balea med sensitive cleansing gel
weleda almond sensitive face cream
tretinoin 0.025 once a week
mivolis panthenol cream
