0.05% Tretinoin Peeling

[newuser:]

Hey guys, I have never experienced this much of peeling while on tretinoin, it’s gotten to the point where my family members notice it (I’ll attach pictures down below). I have been in the sun a lot, and I switch to 5x a week. I just want to know if this is normal, thanks.

why are you doing it 5x a week? and did you titrate up from 0.0025%?

What moisturizer do you recommend?

5 times a week, I might switch back to every other day, but I think if I get a better moisturizer, it’ll really help
