no need to put so much moisturizer, I mean you need to have terible skin barrier to need to use this, just wash your face and then apply a pea size as you saw, because it would be stupid to apply moisturizer and then 98%alcohol and then again moisturizer, you need to let the skin absorp the vitA revitive, so apply moisturizer 5min after applying isotret, because you loos in yield and it's topical also prob your skin barier will be ok, and you can fck it up only if you apply like every day and use no moisterizer, I kwow because I have tried it lol

Yes do not do it without the sandwich method at 0.02% concentration as that would result in a damaged skin barrier.

Mark as solution on right

Also, for me, the first week I used it as a spot treatment, I saw difference, then it died down, tbh that's why I went the oral route
And in case your skin barrier gets fcked just quit for few days and use niacin

bro it's not like he will do it every day, I'm sure he will do it gradually, I use a 0.05% gel (98% alcohol) and I'm fine, but I did use for the first 6months a 0.025 and I did get a damaged skin barrier and that was because I saw results from the first 3 days and continue using it for every day

sandwich method is litteraly a cheatcode cuz it dont make your progression slower, limit sides effects too

 

[RecessedCels]

I've been on accutane and now using tret. Just strat off twice a week and then see how it reacts

 

[cemkii]

U put moisturizer first then a pea size amount of tret then finish it off with moisturizer again

not going to lie the sandwich method only really matters on stronger and when you see side effects otherwise just always moisturize after on 0.02 youll be fine watch out for dermatitis tho

 

[Francisco_Bs]

Guys it was tretinoin 0.025% and clindamycin 1%, would this be too harsh for my skin and should i just do the sandwich method? Help!

pea method is shitty and overrated, just over-moisturising your face lol I just go tretinoin -> wait 10 mins -> moist
