Skin lighten / Pigmentation Removal every morningg and night
- Vitamin C serum (Amazon product ASIN B01GVYEMUC)
- Kojic Acid cream with Arbutin (Amazon product ASIN B0146MIL58)

Extra:
- Castor oil (Amazon product ASIN B071RD69HX) daily for eyebrows and eyelashes

How is this? Also, what's the difference between tretinoin and retinol? Also, is there any way I can upgrade my skin lightening routine? I am a Fitzpatrick 4

When and how often should I do my (extra) and (skin lightening) routines? Once a day? Once a week? Once in the morning?

Now it depends how bad your skin is.

It looks fine, but it's dry and tanned, which is why my main goal is to lighten it

Same, just don't get in the sun and keep the skin routine.

U have to use tretinoin as it is up to 100 times more efficient than retinol depending on dosage. Id also advice getting a moisturizer with niacamide on it. And take hyularonic acid orally with pureclinic formula 300mg. Other than that ur routine looks good

ok, tret/adapalene would be better but retinol will give you visible benefits in the (very) long run

dude you're raping your skin, stop this shit

so many actives twice daily is just pure xD

How is this? Also, what's the difference between tretinoin and retinol?

retinol is the cope version of tret, night and day, hell and heaven, adapalene is in the middle, isotret is the "I hate my internal organs" version of tret and should be the last resort for death tier acnecels

idk about arbutin, never used it, never researched it, volufilline might or may not be cope, for me it was, castor oil idk but it nourishes the fuck out of your hair and is dirt cheap so no reason not to try

Ok, switched retinol with tret. Do you think I should remove the vitamin C serum or do it like once a week or something like that?

do a patch test, if you're not allergic to any ingredient then start with once a week and then increase until you experience slight irritation, then tone it back down and you got your sweet spot

Tretinoin is a more powerful version of retinol, if you are getting good results on your current retinol there is no need to upgrade it
