Tret is meant to be titrated and cycled for max efficacy!

So I started running Tret 0.025% 3 months ago and used it EOD along with moisturizer and sunscreen. Super simple meat and potatoes skin care regimen. I started with some mild acne on my cheek and a bit of acne scarring but overall decent skin - I just wanted it to be even better. When running the 0.025% I found that I was able to tolerate EOD pretty well but when I moved up to everyday my skin would purge. So I stuck to 0.025% EOD and while it dried out and got rid of 60% of my acne I started noticing diminishing returns. So a week ago I titrated up to 0.05% every day and plan on running this cycle for another 2-3 months. Once my skin quality reaches my desired objective I will switch back to 0.025% use it 3X a week to maintain my results. I think titrating to 0.1% will have more downside than upside for me because my acne isn't bad to begin with. My skin is purging again on the increased strength but I am gonna keep at it and moisturizer because I notice my acne is going down even more and my collagen is seeing improvement. Thoughts on this?
