Is there anything I should look out for if I use tretinoin on skin that‘s already dry/flaky, mainly for better skin texture and getting more healthy looking skin.
I plan to start the with the 0.025% strength and work myself up if it takes stronger tret solutions.
Also what’s up with some users reporting that tret aged them and reporting effects like "burned off fatpads" or stronger nasolabial folds?

Do the sandwich technique:
1. Use washgel
2. Apply moisturizer
3. Use Tret, do not apply on nose or eye area
Wait 10-20min and apply moisturiter again

And what abt some people like Splinter901 saying that it aged them and worsened nasolabial folds?
You don‘t apply it everyday and you don‘t apply it everywhere.
You build up tolerance and go from once a week to everyday, with time.
0.025 is weak too.
You‘re more prone to sun damage using tret, so you have to use suncream
Apply it only during the night too

If you use a product right, you should not get fucked. If you notice that it‘s fucking regardless, stop taking it.
