You should drop tret, you aren’t supposed to use them together

if you want to repair your skin barrier, use only mild cleanser and ceramide or even urea cream for your face

jfl, you've practically burned through your skin barrier. Tretinoin, accutane, vitamin C, kojic soap... this combination is literally the barrier fucking set. But dw, It's not over. A little trial and error is essential in skincare anyway. Now all you need to do is get it together, because right now, your skin is in survival mode, not growth mode.

For a few weeks, focus solely on calming down. So, zero active ingredients: no tretinoin, no vitamin C, no acids. Wash with a gentle cleanser in the morning (CeraVe Hydrating or La Roche Toleriane would be fine), then apply a thick moisturizer (Cicaplast Baume B5, CeraVe Moisturizing Cream, etc.), and top it off with sunscreen this trio is now your "barrier renewing set" Repeat the same routine in the evening. If your face still burns or feels tight, add a small amount of Vaseline or Aquaphor at night. It'll literally reset your skin jfl.

Once your skin begins to return to normal and the burning sensation subsides (after about 2-3 weeks), you can gradually return to it. Accutane, because it's a low dose, can stay. As for tretinoin, start with it once a week, then increase it to twice a day, then every other day. Don't try it directly every day. And be sure to apply tretinoin over moisturizer, or you'll ruin it again (ropefuel).

As for vitamin C and kojic soap, put it aside for now. As your skin strengthens, you can start with something gentler like niacinamide. Don't put everything to your face in the name of skincare faggot, your skin needs to adapt.

I'd appretiate if you mark as solution.

If you apply everything I've said, It'll be pretty done. Just don't try everything at once

i’ll wait for 2 weeks to start tret again but only once or twice a week with microneedling and i’ll be back on vitamn c and kojic acid one im done with tret

Yes, adding tret while using accutane is generally a bad idea unfortunately
