So my routine has been: Cleanser then I apply 0.05% Retin a cream then I wash my face and apply Moisturizer.

Some people told me that it’s better if I leave it to completely dry on my face and go to sleep with it. Should I do this?

What if retin-a makes my skin super dry and my skin peels off? I do it to looksmax not to looksmin. Is this normal?

Yeah, this is normal just scrub it off in the morning with a washcloth

Man, this is tough. It looks so bad. When I apply anything to my skin at all, it makes it even more obvious.

I leave it on an hour. Then I wet my face and moisturize.

Moisturizing is important when using tretinoin, it will damage your moisture barrier if you don't.

What’s your routine?

I use it every other day in the evening: wash face with cold water (cleanser is useless cope tbh), apply tret, wait 30 minutes then apply moisturizer. Wash all this shit in the morning and apply some SPF 30 or higher sunscreen. It's an easy routine and works well
