acne treatment is trial and error: it may work for you it may not

i’ve been on 0.025% tretinoin for ~4 years (yes ik i should have gone up to 0.05% i forgot to tell my doctor before getting a new tube) and it worked wonders for me, but i’ve heard bad things. i did experience minor purging, insane dryness n irritation especially during winter, and crazy sensitivity to uv, but i used products to help w the side effects and i think it’s worth it. it helped a lot with my scars and hyperpigmentation. however, when starting, do it every two days to prevent chemical burn n irritation and do sandwich method especially if you have dry skin. when on tretinoin avoid using too many other actives, unless you’re sure your skin can take it. overall talk to your dermatologist and be careful.
 
i use it for collagen and it made my skin glowy and shiet only been on it for like 5 months tho
 
tret hasnt done shit for me and ive been using it a good while. gunna keep at it but it seems not to be a guarantee

It's good, but during the first 4-6 weeks your skin will look like absolute dogshit

how did you heal the dryiing
i used the la roche-posay cicaplast b5 balm. if you would like, you could try sandwich method (moisturizer, tretinoin, moisturizer.) many recommend that, i just found it feeling heavy.

i do the sandwich method, but i have just started, so i think it would take time for it to work, if i dont see much results in a month or two ill use the roche posay, ty tho

Could you slide the seller? Also I’m new to indiamart, how often might I get scammed? Cause I’m buying 1-2 years worth of Tretinoin and Brominodine and it still costs a bit.
finding a good seller is easy, in order, just look for:
  1. Number of reviews (500 vs 20)
  2. Review count (4.7 stars vs 3.4)
  3. Trustseal badge
  4. Exporting experience (1 year vs 8 years)

You most likely won't get scammed if u follow these above

idk, im from Australia myself but I haven't ever gotten stuff seized whilst getting it through customs. I think you'll be alright as long as it isn't clearly some illegal shit.

Forgot to mention as well that once you have all those cleared out (the indicators of a good seller), just go for the cheapest one.

and if u click on one, you can scroll down and find other related products which are usually similar in reviews to the one u just clicked

AND u can also negotiate prices with your seller so they end up not ripping u off. preferably do your talking on the indiamart app so you can access their profile and see how trustworthy they are.

good luck
