I wouldn’t recommend using tret the same day as microneedling. Your skin’s barrier is pretty compromised after the session, and tret can easily irritate it or make things worse. I’d give it at least 24–48 hours before applying tret again, just to play it safe.
You should wait until tomorrow to use tret, since you've potentially made your skin sensitive and prone to irritation via microneedling.

I guess it depends on the concentration.

Sounds good , all i used after was a matrixyl 3000 serum . The tret i use tho is a 0.1% , ive built up an insane tolerance with it so i use it every night .

I guess you could experiment since you have high tolerance, but i personally would avoid overloading my skin like that.

I haven’t started yet because the weather and my schedule have been quite inconsistent. I’ve decided to order from QSC, as recommended by another user here from Australia. My dermatologist advised me to avoid injecting, but I will be going ahead with them anyway.

Today would have been perfect. 34°C and UV Index of 13. :feelswhy:

You have to wait at minimum a couple days preferably a week, if it’s barely red then you aren’t doing shit and your temu needles don’t work.

This is okay for me if I don't have acne

If I have acne it'll get super enflamed and gross

No half measures. If you see blood you'll see collagen soon thereafter :ogre:

Im aware, I’ve been doing this for a year, perfect skin, you’ll probably be fine but if you did it correctly then putting tretinoin or anything on your skin right after will burn like a thousand suns over your skin.

Okay, i wont put it on yet , it stung a bit when i put standard moisturizer on , i will just chill in red light for a few days .

No No. I know that was a subtle attempt to undermine my intellectual authority by correcting the phrase I used when in reality they are essentially interchangeable. You're a dirty weasely bastard and I won't believe anything else.
