Hey guys,
I'm female 23 and I use tretinoin 0,025% with clindamycin since February of 2026.
Im quite pleased with the effects on the pimples...bit my fine lines are so much more pronounced...its really bothering me.
I started with one a week for 1 month (on my back I used a different time schedule, since the skin is really different there), then twice a week for two weeks, increased to every three days and stayed there for two weeks.
I rarely get pimples now, but I have so many new fine lines everywhere.
I use a lot of hydrating ingredients and drink 2-5liters of water per day (more on gym days)...and spf ofc.
I really need guidance for my routine.
Routine am:
Rinse with water
No cosmetics hydrating toner
15%glycerin serum from niche beauty lab
No cosmetics barrier cream
Niche beauty lab lightweight sunscreen spf 50+
(i reapply every 2 hours)
Routine pm:
Isana cleansing oil
No cosmetics hydrating toner
15%glycerin serum
Tretinoin with clindamycin 0,025% (every three days)
No cosmetics barrier cream with 2 drops of squalan oil.
On nights without tret I slug with glysolid...
