does your window make the sunlight enter the house?

A little, but the curtains and those metal twisty things keep most of it out.

I just wonder how long do you have to wait before you can wash it off? It never completely absorbs on me. If I wanted to go out later I would definitely wash it off and do my basic skincare (face wash, shave (if necessary), Eucerine and sunscreen).

put a pea sized amount and spread it on your face it should make a thin layer that gets absorbed and wash it off after like 8 hours

That sounds too little. It's retinol I'm using, not tret. I would feel stupid to go through the whole process if I wasn't sure it was gonna be enough.

why don't you use a retinoid anyway? i've been using adapalene for a while now and it works just fine

Retinol is a retinoid. The reason I'm not using tretinoin (which is the strongest) is because that would require a prescription or getting it off some possibly shady online store and I just haven't been bothered to go through that process.

I take about as much as a full cylinder (pic is just for reference; I use a different brand). Do you think that's too much?

i didn't know it needed a prescription you can get it here for like 5 dollars and even get accutane from some pharmacies without a prescription i even got furosemide with no prescription

anyway i suggest that you use a retinol cream because it's way easier to know how much you need you can use youtube to know how much you need from this idk tbh

I don't think creams are nearly as potent. The retinol in squalane I use Is 1%.

Why don't you use tretinoin if it's prescription free though? It's supposed to be the best from what I've heard.
