Any ways to minimize skin purging on Tretinoin?

[sympathy4thegrinch]

Struggled with acne, found a routine that actually worked for me, got my skin to an alright place, and then started using 0.05% Tretinoin cream about 2 weeks ago to try to even out my tone.

I'm 99% sure my skin is purging (which I'm aware is a good thing) but I feel like I can't even show my face. My skin genuinely looks horrible and I haven't really seen any solutions on how to mitigate purging. It's almost like any and all progress my skin made has been reverted and literally the only change I've made is applying Tretinoin.

You guys got anything that helped when your skin purged or nah? If not I guess I'll be dodging plans for a couple of weeks

Tryna get glass skin by late June.

Edit: This is my routine:

PM: Pea sized amount on cleansed and dried skin, followed by moisturizer.

AM: Cleanse, moisturize, sunscreen.
