Brutal, I have thick eyebrows so luckily I’ve never had to use it. Still over tho

 

[Tai Lung]

if its still shit after 3 month of usage then increase in concentration

 

[hytt]

That's the purpose of tret you fucking retard. All the acne you have that's hidden under your skin will pop out and then disappear as time goes

Maybe your skin is allergic and tret results in an immune response that causes acne idk. Try something like azelaic acid if your skin doesn’t respond well to retinoids considering your acne was mild.

Used that shit it doesn’t work

Then I think it’s clear that your acne is hormonal and at the least you should be considering accutane.

Then idk you need to find another way to deal with hormonal acne.

your skin gets worse at first then gets better also if u are using cream version it has ingredients that clog pores.

if its still shit after 3 month of usage then increase in concentration

he obviously has sensitive skin and fucked his skin barrier do you want to make him rope?

he should use altreno lotion form tret which hydrates the skin of taz cream which does not have pore clogging ingredients.

Yes when I used tret but I haven’t used it in like 4 days

i suggest you rest until you feel your skin is fully healed, should take about 1-2 weeks, then start with the lowest concentration you can get and apply less than a pea sized amount to the whole face every 2-3 days. it will take a bit long but its the only way for sensitive skincels. you can increase the dose gradually

You damaged your skin barrier, a lot of peoples skin can't handle strong retinoids. Stop using it and baby your skin while restoring your barrier with light hydrating products and a thick moisturizer at night.

You said you're 16 so you're probably going through hormonal acne which tretinoin likely can't fix. You can either get on accutane or wait until you're done puberty.

If you really want to use a retinoid, wait until your barrier is fully healed (will probably take a few weeks) and try short contact therapy with adapalene.

But yeah, don't listen to the people saying you're purging or that you should go up in strength, you're irritated.

Honestly idk what the cause of my acne is but I honestly think it’s from tret because I had mild acne before using it and the acne got worse and worse until it started scaring and it hasn’t gotten better for months
