Tret is causing some parts of my face to be red.

[LifeIsACope]

I have been using 0.05% (up from 0.025%) to remove white heads around my face but in one certain area (in the pic below) it is causing my face to be red and burnt, any tips fellas? Do i just chill on that one area and not apply it there?

i have rosacea and i've used accutane for 8 months 2 years ago. now i'm on tret and yes that makes my face red sometimes, by using a lot of moisturizer. it doesn't go red.

so use high quality moisturizer.

Hmmmm, currently I am using this moisturizer do you think i need to get another one or should I just apply it more heavily in that one area?

heavily in that one area

this works for me. also if it got too red i don'T use tret for 2-3 days.

moisturize , tret can burn ur skin

First time i use it i saw 0 effect so i literally used it 3night in row and i saw all my skin peeling and when i put cream it burned

Then i started using it 1/2 times a week, no more burning but still skin peeling

Chemical burn maybe like from too harsh AHA exfoliation?

This is normal (I had a thread about this and even more severe issues some time ago).
Your skin just has to get used to it. As annoying as it is. Maybe use it less times per week. If you do it every day, maybe only do it every two days.
Or if you do it 3 times a week, try doing 1-2 times a week, etc.

Don't use tretinoin too close to the eye area, the skin around there is very thin.
