On Friday night I decided to try Tret. I watched some videos so I wouldn’t mess myself up. I cleansed my face, put on some moisturizer, put a pea size amount of 0.05% Tretinoin cream, and then put more moisturizer over that.
My routine for the past few days has been:
Shower when I wake up
Apply moisturizer
Apply spf

At night I’ve cleansed and then moisturized

On Sunday I noticed some peeling
Today there was more
Kinda made me realize how strong Tret really is since I only applied it one night a few days ago
I guess my question is when will the peeling stop 🫩

I mean a little peeling is normal just moisturize ur face, but if it’s a lot and redness then u should build tolerance first
 
The skin around my lips and jawline including chin peeled for around 1.5-2 months

My lips however were extremely dry for over a year :forcedsmile:. Using the blue vaseline tin has fixed the lip peeling problem now :feelsokman:
