Tretinoin help

[cvltx]

I have been using tretinoin for about 8?? weeks now and like a week ago my face started to get really red on every spot I apply my tretinoin and I have a kinda flakey skin around my moth area and neck. I personally think it's a broken skin barrier because I've used my tret without moisturizer nor cleanser in the first weeks (my fault) but now its weird that the effects come right now. I wanna stop for a week and heal the skin barrier. Does anyone have had this, if its an broken skinbarrier or any tips?

You raped ur skin barrier

Let it heal and start using moisturizer before and after applying tret

oil yourself up with petroleum (vaseline) before you go to bed at night. It will help the skin barrier repair faster.
