Should I hop on tretinoin?

[mxdern]

Hey org,

(17M) Finished a 11 month course of isotretinoin (40-60mg/daily) about 30 days ago, not satisfied with the finish left on my skin
I understand this is PIE/PIH?

I am currently trying to cover over it with tinted moisturiser (see second pic) but as you can see it's barely noticeable
Preemptively ordered 0.05% tretinoin cream, should be arriving in around 20 days
Planning to start May 1st, but I have tropical holidays in June and July - should I wait until after them?

will this help at all, or am I looking for something else?
is my skin potentially too sensitive after accutane?

Thanks!

ngl ur skin is perfectly fine but if u wanna do tret def start with 0.025 not 0.5 cause ur skin will be sensitive after accutane and its not worth risking a dry red face through ur holidays

is there anything less hardcore that I can use to reduce redness

thinking about azelaic acid? I already have loads of the stuff on hand

Niacinamide if u dont already
i havent used azelaic acid personally so im not 100% sure but from a quick search seems like it could be helpful yeah
