If you get irritation wait 30 min to apply after washing face

1. sunscreen is mandatory!!!
2. apply it at night only
3. avoid combing azelaic acid and tret on the same day if this is your first time
4. moisture your skin. tret is extremely drying
5. avoid applying it near your eyes. ive used it for 2 years now and i have permanent dry eyes because of it

Tnx, but moisturizer makes my skin extra oily so i will skip it
Also bcz salludon said so

Tret works locally so no extra side effects
Also i chose tret bcz of it’s anti aging benefits

i have oily skin and i don’t really need moisturiser either but don’t underestimate the strength of some of these tret gels and creams. my skin was peeling and flaking off all the time for weeks before my skin got used to it

I didn’t use sunscreen for 5 years that I been on tret and everything was fine

fair enough

and i also smoked for 10 years and im fine!

exceptions don’t prove the rule. everyone must wear sunscreen regardless of whether you are using a retinol or not. it is scientifically proven that uva and uvb rays causes collagen to denature and become damaged

Real
the Sun in Afghanistan fucked my face up. Those long walks i would take while the uv was 15 was a dumb idea.
With tret i should be extra careful

I’ve been UVmaxxing for 20 minutes a day with no SPF for a week now and my skin has never looked better than now. How do you explain this?

What do I do for periorbital darkening (mostly around infras)

night only is a very valid tip that most ppl overlook. even bpo in the morning is dangerous

@DrMd

i need to hop on too

is it better than accutane ?

probably more safer too since accutance can have interesting side effects

Don’t use it when your face is wet nigga trust me , also use 0.025, then 0.05 then 0.1

 

[orbitlet]

The infraorbital darkening area is big as fuck also

 

[Gobnull]

[dogshitinfras]
