any idea for tret + azelaic acid routine?

[erm0nherm0n]

just bought tret 0.05% and azelaic 10%, all i know is to apply tret at night with moisturiser and azelaic at morning. should i rawdog the azelaic acid or apply with moisturiser? and should i shave when i use the products? and how often do i use each as a beginner.

Don't start both at the same time since they are both actives and u got 0.05 tret
cleanse with a gentle cleanser
use the sandwich method for tret
cleanse -> moisturizer -> tret -> moisturizer

use azelaic acid after a month or two if you don't have bad skin irritation or peeling from tret

and use tret at first 2 times per week at night
for the first 2 weeks, them you can go to 3 night/week and up to every night once your skin has adapted

and use SPF in the morning, mandatory once you use tret

okay, thank you. what about shaving? i shave every day but if i do tret do i shave the next morning or do it the next day? or does it have no affect at all
