My skin is peeling from using 0,05 tret daily (4th day on tret and been using daily ever since). Does this mean that i should reduce my usage to every other night?

use every other day or switch over to 0,025
if its your first time using a retinoid, use it less frequently so your skin gets used to it

I just cleanse my face then put my tret on. Probaly why
 
defo use a moisturizer before or after applying tret, that's a given since your skin becomes so dry
My skin is fine, its not even dry. The peeling is also very negligible too. Just a small patch on my face
 
space it out. when i started i did once every 3 days. then i worked up too 2 and now i do everyday minus 1 a week. also make sure to use a gentle cleanser, i used a harsh one and absolutely raped my skin barrier and turned into a glistening tomato

No. I had peeling upon using 0.025 initially from skinorac but then it worked when I started using it properly. Did you directly start with 0.05 or you have experience with 0.025?

I started off with 0.025, its been flaked for 2 days now so i just put on moisturizer and wait until the flaking stops

Wait for the flaking to stop and then start tret with 0.025 in sandwich method and see how it works

Put a lot of moisturizer and reduce the dosage or apply it EOD

I'm doing it every other day at the same concentration
 
Have u seen improvements in acne and closed comedones if u had it? Or did u just take it for anti aging
Only started a couple weeks ago, but I used isotret before with success

oral isotret not tret, but for health/longevity topical tret is better
I used both and my skin got immune after sometime and didn’t react properly on Tret no more even tho I was paying 90 bucks a bottle

Keep using it daily if the peeling is negligible
You can use it less frequently if peeling gets worse
Moisturise after applying tret too
