I applied 0.05% tretinoin for the first time and started peeling around day 3, but I haven’t experienced any irritation at all. I know people often recommend starting once a week, but since my skin seems to be tolerating it well, I’m thinking of using it twice a week instead. I also don’t get much sun exposure throughout the day. Should i start twice a week?

Yea you can increase to twice a week since you have no active irritation. Peeling is normal but as long as your skin doesn't feel raw or sting when you wash it you are likely tolerating it fine. Just stay consistent with your moisturizer and sunscreen. If you start feeling sensitivity, drop back down to once a week.
If it helped I'd appreciate if u could mark as a solution( ☑ not the thumb ) ❤️
