0.05 is that good?

 

[Blasian-K]

0.05 is that good?

Gotta just test and wait. But yeah, it should be okay if you wear sunscreen and moisturizer (obviously).

Purging and dryness (flaking) at first were normal. At least for me, I used Tretinoin on the highest dose, .1% (it was my dad's). And it was rough, but starting lower, like you are, should be good.

currently starting my 2nd week, on .025% redness and shedding goes away gradually in 4 days good luck.

I'm gonna start low to see how well my skin can tolerate it, maybe after a month i'll increase

Accutane, tret, or any antibiotics don’t work long term. Use as a short term fix

Been on tret 0.05 for around a month, already seeing improvements from before. U may experience a purge in the first couple weeks but It'll go away soon

i looked it up and it said it depends on skin sensitivity. taz is probably too strong for me

 

[wasc]

I have taken every topical pharm known to man.

It doesn’t work long term because of literally how the mechanism works. Are your thousands of posts slop or are you just a newfag?

 

[wasc]

Any accutane is taken later in the hormonal cycle if under the direction of a dermatologist (<16 never get prescribed) so the so called “results” are just failed androgens from puberty ending, resulting in no acne. Accutane literally is a megadose of vitamin A that will shrink oil glands. The amount of oil/hormones derived from a result of accutane is almost always an end of a puberty cycle

ok but my point was most people take accutane for a cumulative dose & stop when they reach it & this provides them with long lasting clear skin

& many people have acne going into their 20’s when they’ve already finished their puberty cycle & take accutane so it’s not always about puberty

 

[wasc]

20s=no puberty? Wrong. I took accutane for a year as soon as I could take it. Acne is either toxicity or hormonal, but almost always hormonal. Bodybuilders, women during menopause, etc. The 20s are the times where many have the highest dht/androgens (when beards can be grown/when balding starts) so obviously acne is still prevalent. If you said 30s that would make sense but how many 30-40yo do you see with acne? @tansel
