How does one actually utilise Tretinoin properly without destroying their skin barrier

[atzrmnz]

I’ve been prescribed terclin 30g (clindamycin 10mg/g + tretinoin 0.025 mg/g) it’s been 1 week and 3 days into it the purging faze is currently happening right now with a lot of dryness and stinging, but I’ve been seeing people who’ve used tret warning people to use it properly and not to mess up their skin barrier while some do not recommend and say it doesn’t work. So what really is the proper way to use it? I’ve being doing everything it says to do on the leaflet instructions do I pair tret with anything else?

People usually damage their skin by starting with too much or too fast. Use only a pea sized amount for the face and apply 2-3 times a week until your skin has gotten used to it.

If you have sensitive skin, use the sandwich method (moisturizer, tret, moisturizer)

Also don't pair with strong exfoliating acids or other retinoids
