is your acne hormonal, if it is i have the same issue. its mainly just diet but things like that may work

i think it is cause no matter how clean i eat and how well my skincare routine is, my acne still persists. do you think i should switch to tret or taz for faster results?

okay noted thank you. my acnes been persistent for around 3 years atp, so tret will probably yield better results.

i have a tube but im just afraid of potential photodamage and skin barrier damage
apply at night, if u go outside often wear sunscreen, and dont every day maybe start like 2-3x a week so u dont dry tf out of ur skin

youll break out at first bc its gonna pull all that acne to the surface but it legit works so fucking well man and gives your skin a nice glow too

yeah im heavly considering it. i dont really have acne its just my skin texture and blemishes that really fuck my face
its not very expensive on indiamart, you could probably get 5-6 tubes for $50-60. thats definitely what ill do soon but im still stuck between tret or taz. prob tret for less irritation but same results.

tbh try retin-a before considering accutane. accutane has some pretty nasty sides ngl. i consider it a last resort
lmao doesnt accutane fuck up your growth? im already a manlet so i cant risk that

Adap is good for pimples but it wont get rid of the redness as much as tret
Im on a road to get my tret perscribed cuz my adapalen run out

tret also good for pimples and all around more effective

how long have you used it

it works (others might be more effective but since youve started keep going)

once your acne is gone switch to another retinoid for the all around benefits
