I’ve been using tretinoin since September 2025. The 1. and 3. photos are from September 2025, and the 2.4. are from April 2026.
Do you think there’s any improvement? Will it help with pigmentation, and if so, when? If anyone had similar skin, could you share before/after photos? How long did it take to see results?
I’m about to start using tazarotene ( 0,05)and I’m hoping for more improvement. Has anyone seen results with enlarged pores using it? Or what else can I do for large pores?
My routine is very simple now compared to my previous multi-step routine:
Morning:
Wash face with water
Eucerin Anti-Pigment Serum
Or Centella Hyalu-Cica Blue Serum
Geek & Gorgeous Hydration Station
SPF 50 (I reapply multiple times during the day)
Evening:
Cleanse (LRP Effaclar or Ilso Natural Mild Cleansing Oil)
Tretinoin 0.025%
CeraVe moisturizer + Geek & Gorgeous Hydration Station
Sometimes I use additional moisturizers depending on how dry my skin feels.
