Hello, just received my tretinoin cream 0.05% from the pharmacy.

1. How often should I use it ?
2. Can I apply it the evening and 30 min later apply a moisturizer cream ?
3. Which amount of cream do you put and can I apply it in my entire face ?

I use Benzoyl peroxide 2.5. Check out down below.
 
1. Use it every other night
2. Yes you can and should do that because you wanna make sure the tretinoin fully absorbs
3. Put a pea sized drop on every part of your face, one on your forehead, one of your left cheek, one on your right cheek, one on your nose, and one on your chin

Thank you very much for your answer. Should I avoid using it on undereye ?
 
Tret is not for under eyes.

My daily routine:

A.M

· Vanicream gentle cleanser

· La Roche Posay B5 Baume

· Vanicream daily moisturiser

· la roche posay anti helios SPF 50

P.M

· Vanicream gentle cleanser

· La Roche Posay B5 Baume

· Vanicream daily moisturiser

· 0.025% tretinoin cream (A-ret gel from Skinorac)

· Aquaphor healing ointment

No don’t use it on your undereye
nah you should use it on your under eyes too, will make the skin thicker and lighten the pigmentation giving you better under eyes
 
If you have a ton of irritation or very sensitive skin, try starting with once a week and moisturize first then apply tret

I thought my dermatologist gave me a 0.05% but it's only 0.025% so I don't think it will irritate a lot

Aren't you supposed to use just one pea-sized drop for your entire face?

I also read a lot of conflicting information online regarding tretinoin and the under-eyes... which is it?

most people who tell you to not put it in the under eyes are normies who think tret is too strong, it got rid of my dark circles

Idk that’s what my dermatologist told me
