Like shit tbh but moisturizing keeps it nice

benzoyl peroxide in the morning 3x a week, Retin A every night so your skin barrier doesn’t get raped as hard

No amount of moisturizing would keep my skin from flaking off, which is why I barely use Retin A.

Benzoil peroxyde rapes collagen tho. You should only use it as a last resort

Source?

Pretty sure it just makes skin dry which can make it look dry and give the appearance of less collagen

I use it 3x a week

Maybe it’s your skin barrier that got raped

make sure you use an occlusive(lock in moisture) not just a moisturizer.
you can use vaseline after retin-a if youre not worried about petroleum based products but i use a mixture of beeswax and shea butter

It's always been that way for me. Benzyl peroxide is even worse. Genetics obviously play a role.
