Stopped using Tretinoin for two weeks and I feel like my collagen got worse

[Deleted member 3328]

I'm almost 19 and have ZERO acne problems.

I've been using Tretinoin (0.025%) for some time and my skin was really good, it got that Tretinoin glow.

The reason I stopped using it was because I ran out of it.

Am I just imagining this?

Should I keep using Tretinoin even though I have no acne? @benignice

You are likely imagining this. The quality of your skin fluctuates, sometimes it can appear drier, acne can flare up spontaneously, and not to mention the fact that once you have the idea in your head, you will start looking for confirmation even if it isn't warranted.

80% increase in collagen

Do you ever experience redness or irritation from using it?

Yes but tbh only after excessive sweating from exercise, i forget to apply moisturiser, after shaving.
Its only irritation/itchiness/peeling. The redness stopped after a couple months or so.
Im taking 0.05 daily btw

Redness stopped for me as well

I did experience irritation while exercising as well

One more thing, did you apply it near your eye area?

 

[Deleted member 5187]

Was told it helps even tho no acne at all
My skin is great without doing anything so the results wont be as dramatic but still noticeable

That's why I ordered, but 2 weeks seems too fast as trentroin takes longer to work so I imagine it takes longer to fade
Probaly something else - probaly normal fluctuations

I don't see a reason why I would need a higher dosage when I have zero acne

Yeh i do, but im skeptical of it because aparently it causes fat loss. Therefore could potentially lose fat in under eye and have worse eye area

low concentration wont help try 0.05 7day a week

That's what I'm worried about as well

Still I feel like my under eye are got better when I applied it there

Same, the colouration improved and lessened my dark circles

It doesn't
It's fear mongering and the evidence provided was shit

Benigince told me he never heard of fat loss from it


When do you use moisturiser when using it?
Morning, night and after gym?

 

[Deleted member 3328]

0.025 was enough. It made a notable difference.

Tbh using that logic someone could just apply Tretinoin all over his body to lose love handles and have visible abs

Most likely a scam tbh

I always use it morning after washing my face when i wake up. But if i ever have irritation at some random time in the day i just slap some on and it helps.

How long took it to get over the initial stage with dry skin etc?

If you can't find it you're not old enough to take prescription medication

So at first i went straight to 0.05, because the pharmacy in India didnt have 0.025. I started with once every 3 days, then once every 2, then daily. It took me like 2 months, for most of the irritation to subside. Like unbearable, uncotrollable itchiness and peeling to the point even moisturiser wouldnt help. Like 5 mins after applying it, the irritation will come back. Not to mention shaving was hell.

After 2 months it subsided, but as i mentioned i still get irritation sometimes after excessive sweating from exercise, forgetting to put moisturiser or after shaving.

So it's better to go with 0.025 if possible?

They aren't trust me
They ship from India

To start with, yes, esp if you dont have acne or other skin problems and using it mainly for collagen and anti ageing properties.saying this purely because of the irrritation. Once you get used to 0.025, thats when u jump up to 0.05. Ask @benignice just to be sure.

Yeah that's exactly why, I want it for collagen and anti ageing.
Will go with the 0.025 to judge how my skin reacts first
Thx for the advice
