What would you guys choose?
Tretinoin for collagen or the sex appeal boost from tanning



And don’t come up with self-tanners
Way too high maintenance (exfoliating body, applying this shit every week)
 
tretinoin

Have that too. I crave sun because how little I get of it where I live, I really want to be outside every day in summer.
 
tretinoin obviously. And u cant combine it, sun damage will occur with tan and it directly interferes with tretinoin. Tan = sun damage,

sun damage wont be noticeable untill mid to late 20s. Im late 20s and i can see how old my peers around me look like. They dont know shit about skincare

I wanted to ask the same question, what about using tretinoin 3/4x week and tanning 1x every 10 days at tanning beds?
 
If you want a tan that badly you can fraud it eg with tinted sunscreen. You can't fraud collagen/skin imperfections as easily as a tan, so tretinoin without a doubt

You can do both.

Cycling Melanotan-2 will let you get a tan while avoiding excessive sun damage, you can legit only be in the sun for 15-20 minutes while on it and you’ll develop good tan since it increases melanin production drastically. Especially good for palecels that can’t naturally tan

Tanning is low-IQ.

tretinoin gave my skin a more red undertone which made me look more tanned
 
You can use tretinoin + melanotan 2. Melanotan is acc less money than getting a tan from a sunbed.

Depends tbh, If you lived in a warm sunny place then everybody who went outside would have a tan, palemaxxing would make you look like non NT basement rotter

It doesn’t matter, any benefits are insignificant compared to the drawbacks. Voluntarily aging yourself is retarded. You can take part in this insidious lifestyle if you wish, but jfl at that.

but before that, before using melanotan, you have to cancel tretinoin anyway?

Yeah you do, but melanotan will make your tan last since it permanently increases your melanin levels. This works a lot better for paleskinned niggas since it’ll give you semi-permanent ideal colouring but if you’re already naturally tan or dark than you risk niggamaxxing yourself

I'm palecel. So we cancel Tretinoin, tan with Melanotan for a while in the summer, and then go back on Tret?

This won’t work as you have to maintain the tan in winter where you normally apply tretinoin again
I doubt you tan with mt2 and stay tanned forever

It’ll make you permanently darker, Gingercels start growing dark brown hair after taking it.

And you don’t stay tanned forever but it’ll improve your natural skin colour by a lot

Tretinoin only makes you more sensitive to the sun when you first start using it

Source:
We've heard some tretinoin myths that say that you can't use tretinoin or other topical retinoids in the summer. According to Dr. Aimee Paik, “Retinoids can increase sun sensitivity during the first six months of use (because of the exfoliating effect). However, after that, your skin’s sensitivity to the sun will revert back to its baseline.”

I tan for 20-25 min a day at 9/10am or 4/5pm (when the sun is not that strong) and still do tret, it does wonders for me

I used to lay for 3 hours/day naked in the sun for 1 week on Brazil's summer, would get a nice red skin undertone... I need to do it again, increases my sex appeal by 300% 🤭
 
Accutane low dose + tanning beds.. your welcome

So you won’t speedrun aging by still being on tret when tanning?
 
Tret if you have acne and/or relatively low collagen and overall bad skin. Tanning if you're already a skinmogger

No, tretinoin helps with aging and tanning does the opposite. They have no correlation as long as you have been using tret for atleast 6 months since by then the sun sensitivty will go away. But tanning in itself will age you. That’s why I use melanotan 2 so that I can tan with minimal uv Ray exposure

My melanotan is on the way, how long do you tan und do you use sunbeds?
 
Depends what you want and where you are.

Depends how pale you are too. 30 minutes is enough of the uv index is high. You can check uv index daily for your area online
 
Unless you look like a literal vampire tret is the way to go. You can get a semi tan with beta carotene supplements and foods much healthier in the long run
