anyone have experience with catching a tan while using tretinoin?

[RealNinja]

recent studies have come out that say tretinoin does not increase photosensitivity. i still wear sunscreen but i want to get tan really badly. sick and tired of self tanners and gradual tan lotions, its a huge pain in the ass. have any tretinoin users tried tanning beds/suntanning and what happened?

A tan only occurs when you are accruing sun damage and ruining your collagen so I'm a little confused. Even if tret doesn't exacerbate it, you are ruining your collagen to... look more brown? there are entire subcontinents of people who spend their entire paycheck on trying to appear less brown.

Being tan makes you look healthy and fit. Im tall and white with light blue eyes, I would never be mistaken for a brown

tretinoin removes my tan off of me, you're saying that tret won't make you more susceptible to a tan, right?

Hes right.

Use melanotan. Eventually some of the results will be permanent and you will never have to damage your skin again to look more brown

This one basically says photosensitivity with Tret stops after a few months of adjustment. So skipping sunscreen sometimes isn’t going to kill you but you should still wear it habitually
