8 weeks on tretinoin ☁️ my skin feels horrible 😬

If you're looking for ways to improve your skin's appearance, you may have heard of Tretinoin. This topical medication is used to treat acne, hyperpigmentation, and signs of aging like wrinkles.

In this series, I am sharing my Tretinoin routine and share before and after photos to show you the results that I getting. We'll also discuss the benefits of using Tretinoin for skincare, as well as any potential side effects.

Whether you're new to Tretinoin or looking for tips and tricks to improve your routine, this series will have everything you need to know.

I didn't find anything like that when I was starting my tretinoin journey, so I hope it would be really helpful for you.

Hyaluronic acid makes tretinoin penetrate deeper in the skin and you should not apply on damaged skin, especially the la roche because it has purfume in it. Just use a moisturizer and spf until your skin barrier is healed and maybe skip all the extra serums for a while. Good luck!

1) Use 1x a week for one or two month's. Then 2x a week for 1 or 2 months and so on. Trying tonspeed up the proces is going to cause extreme irritation and you'll become discouraged.
2) apply moisturizer first or mix with moisturizer and apply
3) Always apply sunscreen during the day.
4) Do not use any other actives while using it.
4) Dont use hyaluronic acid, if used or dosed improperly, it can cause extreme irritation and actually dry out the skin.

The steamer!!!!😮 You are doing it wrong girl Period, at this point you have no skin barrier,

[JaimeeTyrell]

You’re only supposed to apply a pea sized amount. If that’s too much mix that pea sized amount with your moisturizer.
And you need to use a skin barrier repair after applying it.

[MorningDove]

Use only pea size amount. Don't use around nose, corners of mouth, eyes or chin. Take your time with small amounts.

A simple moisturizer and VASELINE is all you need right now, and spf ofc.

[Ohkeh]

If you're just starting I recommend using tretinoin over cerave moisturiser in the tub

[rukiopu]

You should stop the tretinoin and any ingredients that could irritate it for a couple days and just stick with moisturizer and soothing serums. Then when it calms down you can start using it again.

[karlavonschwarzenblut]

Use mosturizer without hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is not recommended from any tretinoin producer. You can use hyaluron a day after, but after doubble rinse, just apply moisturiser based on panthenol, urea or glycerine or light mixture of this three. Tretinoin is not a toy, ffs!

[reaganmack]

Use a hyrulomic acid under a moisturizer. Wait until that is dry then put tretanoin on it. Once you have done that put more lotion on. Pls only use a pea sized amount and I’m begging you to use it a few times a week to start. Your sling purging and doing this is good. It is working

[KH-hcsy]

WOW, I would stop completely and heal. Then start again with applying it ONCE a week. You need to build tolerance first. And use delicate moisturizers and cleansers. Dermatologist recommended and for sensitive skin, no perfume! Almost all our moisturizers and cleansers are FILLED with aggregating ingredients. Including SUNSCREEN. It goes along way to really do some research first and ask a doctor.

[snehasishghosh]

I use tretinoin daily with normal Vaseline moisturizer after a facewash. Morning is just moisturizer and sunscreen. No problems and only good results.

Tretinoin is not for everybody. For those with oily skin and inflammatory acne, it can increase the lesions (normally, clusters of mini papules and a few cysts) due to the overstimulation of cell turnover. If your skin doesn' t improve, consider switching to retinAL wich not only doesn' t worsen the sotuation but it helps prevent acne due to its antibacterial properties (so does bakuchiol, btw, there are amazing combinated formulas). It took me a year on tret to finally understand what was happening and leave "the gold standard". I was devastated at that moment because I thought I' d loose all the benefits (no wrinkles, no dark spots, firmness) but retinAL provides the same effectivenes since I can use it every single night. Zero, *ZERO* side effects✨. Hope you are doing fine🖤

[mixdbeautea]

You are not supposed to use a steamer on your face before applying tretinoin cream. The constant heat will make your skin inflamed and irritated, no wonder you’re having problems.

[cucucoco]

i don’t put t directly on the skin, love. do serum, ceramide night cream and then T cream every other night

[stephanie]

Try gel formulation.
My skin was inflamed with cream tret. But gel worked for me

[myribstellmesheslying]

I'm using .05% almost daily (one off-day a week) and my skin is fine. Goes to show how different skins can be.

[rickie]

Base on what you’re staying in the video regarding it “hurt a lot” sounds like you used a little to much then you’re supposed.

[jassy]

When taking tretinoin you should avoid applying it on the most sensitive areas on your face.
The folds or corners on the side of your nose. The corners and under your lips

[cherryred]

Good old fashioned Ponds cold cream.jas been a game changer for me. I use it as a cleanser and night time moisturiser. Has really helped with flaking and no longer feel any soreness.. About 8.weeks in and able to use it 5 or 6 times a week
