Don't take it everyday, less is better. Make sure to get a good moisturiser and suncream before you start using. I recommend Vanicream products, they don't contain shit that will make your acne worse and the moisturiser is great for keeping skin hydrated.

I instantly used 0.05 every night, you CAN do it in other places but, you shouldn’t.
every night, if possible, also try to increase your strength to 0.1 as 0.025 will induce little results overtime.

0.05 takes 1 year for results.

damn takes that long ?
yeah, the effects induced by RA to RAR-alpha (which forms heterodimers with RXR) take a bit of time to show.
as you know, cell turnover (even keratinocyte turnover) is a long process.

Once a doctor told me that tret doesn't work because it can't go under the skin what are your thoughts on this?
actually thats funny, because it does go under the skin (well it spreads around under the skin).
this is it how it binds to RAR-alpha which induce the effects like increased collagen, cell turnover etc.

nah, if you do, you should be microneedling as the collagen won’t be used unless a stimulatory action is caused.
whats microneedling ? i bought a derma roller not long ago cuz i thought just rolling that shit around on ur face will help but idk

microneedling is inducing microdermabrasions which cause the natural healing response therefore increasing collagen.
yes, a dermaroller is a tool used for microneedling.

0.025 tret every third day for the first 2-3 weeks. Then every other day for the next 2-3 weeks. Then nightly after that. Apply moisturizer, then the tret, then another layer of moisturizer

Just apply the moisturizer and make sure to apply it well and evenly in circular motions while you massage it in well. Then a pea size amount of tret, then the moisturizer again.
