I put as little as possible to cover face, the 'pea' amount. avoid eyes (2cm+) or too close to mouth. 0.025% once a week. moisturize. sunscreen. yet still days after my skin flakes, my mouth area gets a bit rashy (not very noticeable due to stubble) and my eyes are drier. now I don't want to perma fuck my eyes and suffer for life due to dry eyes or whatever other sides this shit might have (even if it's not accutane who knows the sides). I'm 5 months in btw

have my blackheads improved? has my scar lightened? slightly I guess. otherwise my skin is ok and aging damage is minimal. is it worth all the trouble and shit? not entirely sure it is. you really really gotta take as little of this shit as possible and spot treat or whatever. like I'm not a retard I followed all safety and other considerations yet I still get sides. now imagine an actual retard who tans after, puts it on her eyelid, starts at 0.1% and giga ODs on it. 💀

You should NOT be having these sides 5 months in, especially at 0.025, that's nothing

just fucking cage, and i'm applying some random generic drugstore shit on a generic cotton swap instead of the indicated brand alcohol swabs and i've gone from acne everywhere visible from afar to glowing skin with a couple spots nearly invisible in fucking flash cam in like a month

its because you only apply it once a week, and you may not be wearing the right sunscreen. my derm threw me on .05 right away daily, only reason I didn't buy it from alldaychemist was cause I wanted to make sure I got the real stuff the first time (now I buy on alldaychemist for WAY cheaper). If you apply once weekly, your skin wont build a tolerance. Additionally, if you do not wear sunscreen, the photosensitivity induced by the retina will greatly enhance the side effects. you MUST ABSOLUTELY MUST wear SPF 30 or higher, all my side effects went from 10% to 0 when I did this (I didn't have many side effects even without sunscreen, but sunscreen made them drop to 0).

only apply it once a week
well if I appied it during sides it would make it worse no? I wait a week for sides to be gone as it is. if I just put a minuscule amount in a couple places the sides don't really appear. but I literally use the lowest recommended dose and I still get raped jfl. also it's gel if that matters.
.05 right away daily
what the fuck. I'm thinking it might smear a bit on my pillow. I usually wait 30+ min before bed with application hbu?
SPF 30 or higher
SPF 50. pretty expensive too it should be good :feelshmm:

gel shouldn't make a difference. A lot of tretinoin users go through a "purge" phase where the skin adapts to the inflammation, which can make it look pretty bad for a month or so. I have very thick skin and so my purge wasn't very intense, but other skin types may react more noticeably. I would start applying it daily EVEN if the side effects get worse, as long as the pain is manageable. I think what you are doing currently is not enough for overloading your skin to adapt. It's like working out, you need to do it 4-6 times a week to progressively overload muscles, not once.

Sunscreen is good. At night I double cleanse my face, put on HA, then tretinoin, then moisturizing madecassoside gel. I wait 20min for the moisturizer after retinA.

What's the rest of your skin care routine look like? You could try a better moisturizer OR you could switch to an over the counter Retinol.

Tretinoin doesn't work for everyone and since Retinols are over the counter there are a lot better formulations out there. Idk why people here jump right to tret. "BuT iTs TeN tImEs As StRoNg!!!". Yeah fucking exactly it's 10 times as strong not to mention the fact that Retinol can come in formulations over 1% so they could probably find something just as effective even if they didn't have side effects.
