Need help w tretinoin guys

How can you use it with minimal irritation for the first time
About to order 0,025%
I also have spf 50 do I even need that

so first wash your face with cleanser and then moisturize or just apply the retin a and leave it like that
Or should I do it before bed

Give ~5 minutes of drying before and after Retin a to maximise absorption btw

Also, apply as seen below to minimise irritation. The Retin A will spread into those sensitive areas anyway, you don't need to apply there.

Did you put too much?

 

[ReignsChad]

Don’t use it if you have acne/acne scarring genetics

You’re fine. Tretinoin is peer reviewed and it works. In my subjective experience, however, it caused a breakout that led to dented scars. Sucks for me, I guess

How much did you use , you probably underrated it and used too much the first time

you should use very small amount and see and slowly build up maybe skip one day till skin adapts

Cope, my skin is extremely sensitive, so I know all the ins and outs, dos and donts. Unfortunately for me, it’s just bad genetics

Yea, go for it. Only avoid it if you are predisposed to dented acne scarring
