Tret makes my skin shed like crazy

[northafricanLTN]

title started using tret but I can’t handle the shedding so I use it twice a week and exfoliate with glycolic acid

What the hell are you doing? Do not use exfoliants like glycolic acid with tret or any retinoids even if its not in the same day. Your face must be on fire...

Get a heavy moisturizer+gentle cleanser; I recommend La Roche, their TRP line up will be good for you. As for cleanser research well, but make sure no exfoliants (salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide), or vitamin C. Also recommend snail mucin as a serum (hyaluronic acid retains moisture and snail mucus is very moisturizing) but its optional the rest is a must.

Do not use it in the mornings but if you must (it will be less effective)., then get a very good facial sun screen
(SPF 50+).

moisturizing or gentle toner -> cosrx (optional) -> moisturizer -> tret -> SPF (only if you absolutely can not apply it at night).
Once you get used to tret (by feel) stop layering for better absorption

moisturizing or gentle toner -> cosrx (optional) -> tret -> moisturizer -> SPF (again ^).
