How bad was your tretinoin purge and how long did it last

Im going to bulk and start tret tmrw hopefully the acne is bearable enough so I can be outside in public.

i was very lucky and didnt get any purge my skin seems to tolerate it very well thinking of moving up to 0.1 from 0.05, u tried other skin care products before which can be used as a yard stick

Yh ive already got a routine my skin is pretty decent ( I get breakouts occasionally) tbh I just want it to be near perfect I'm going to use 0.025

it wouldn’t hurt because the results are insane for me, it truly was heaven sent for me even tho my skin care was already decent

have you had any impact to eye (dryness) or fatpads I'm going to put vaseline on my eye area to avoid these at all cost

Nothing, it can't reduce fat pads or people would use them to get thinner

that would be a bonus for me man, if i lost fat on my face but sadly no or haven't used it long enf to see the changes no dryness too had some peeling around mouth area but fixed it by applying being more thorough on applying moisturiser on that area

I don’t get acne from it (or without it) but even 0.05% makes me peel despite using a lot of moisturiser. It’s annoying.

Then I have to use harsh exfoliants to get rid of the peels and it probably makes it worse.

How long did you use, and are you noticing improvment?

I never had skincare before, i had a bit of redness here and there, but nothing crazy. It barely did anything.

almost a month now and the improvements were almost instant as well since i have been on skin care for over a year now i know my skin conditions from differing products and tretinoin was insane but i shoulda known because my skin seems to be very receptacle to retinols

purge should not last more than 6 weeks at most. if you still breakout a lot, you're applying too much or too often. I just started spacing out my tret by certain days and im getting less acne and peeling

2 weeks.
Irritated skin, redness, swollen eye area (will give you chad level eye area for 2 weeks) and a little peeling.
