Is it ok to use tret every other day instead of every day?

[Rabbi]

Only have 0.05 but I use about half a peas worth diluted with a fuck tone of moisturiser, I use Vaseline to buffer around my eyes because that’s where I’m very eczema and at least 2inches away from them. Still my skin has shrivelled up horridly after use even with all the moisturiser in the world so I’m thinking of using once every 2 days for a break for my skin. Is this ok or does it make the skins response worse due to not getting used to tret.

Yes

First 3-4 days I was feeling nothing , then I started using everyday and after a week or so , my whole cheeks were filled with inflammatory spots , my barrier was fucked
Moisturizer saved it , I'm scared to use tret again

This is my third time trying it again, both times I got a lot of irration around the cheeks and eyes it was too much and I had to quit. If this doesn’t go well with the most conservative approach possible I’m guessing my skin just can’t handle tret

Dermatologists will tell you to start once every other day.
I started with 0.025, then went up to 0.05 and ended up with everyday 0.1, but it took years.

Edit: I do apply a night moisturizer 5min after applying the tret.

Next time I try , I will start twice a week with a urea cream and then after a month I will go 4 days a week.
Moisturizer is wayyy more important
