Tret vs Retinol (undereyes)

[AleksandR12]

I’ve been on 20mg of Accutane daily for a few months now, and I’m wondering whether I should use retinol or tretinoin for my under eyes.

Has anyone had experience with this?

Or is this straight up cope?

It's not rlly advised to use accutane simultaneously with a topical retinoid but if you're fine with the irritation I don't see why it won't work

You shouldn't be using any sort of retinoids while on accutane. Accutane and tret together is wayyyy to much vitamin A for ur body at once. It'll completely fuck your skin barrier and leave you with burning skin. I've also heard that there can be Vitamin A toxicity in ur head from stacking rets on accutane. pls mark as solution if it helped
