0.1% Tret causing massive flaking

[Deleted member 2268]

I’ve started using it daily and it’s causing bad flaking. Should I cut down to 3x a week or switch to 0.05%

@andy9432

Cut down to every 3 days for two weeks, then every other day for another two weeks before doing daily.
When you have tret on your finger, also mix in moisturizer too -- this effectively lowers the concentration. Reduce the amount of mixing over the course of a month until you only have to put it on your face beforehand.

You'd need to moisturize and apply sunscreen heavily to compensate.

I was on 0.025 before and it was very weak

Your supposed to use it daily

 

[Maesthetic]

Your supposed to use it daily

maybe after 2 years, but starting with 0.1% and using it daily is probably the worst idea

 

[GymCelNeckPill]

I'm also on 0.1% daily. You should cut back to using every other day and use lots of moisturizer!

Yeah, build up with 0.025 and 0.05 and different cadences (EOD or 3x a week). But at a certain point, your face becomes retinized and tolerant. You can use 0.1% daily with minimal or no side effects at that point. I took a break for two months and started right back up on 0.1% daily with no issues.

and if its only in a collagenmaxx/ anti aging, 0.025 is strength enough
