Tretinoin or Tazarotene for PIE?

[EthanCaldwell0928]

I am planning on ordering a 0.1% concentration of either tazarotene or tretinoin. For the past 6 months I’ve been using 0.045% tazarotene and have gotten minimal results and no side effects. My skin can very well tolerate taz. I need something to get rid of my PIE and hyperpigmentation and am wondering if taz 0.1% or tret 0.1% is a better option? Also what are some other things I can use for PIE. Is azelaic acid good? What are other things as well?

what is pie

Post inflammatory erythema. In simple words it’s like red scars. Not hyperpigmentation dark spots, these are red instead.

Have you used tazarotene under your eyes or do you avoid that area?

avoid it

apply it a finger width or two below, it still produces collagen under the eyes but u shouldnt get dry eyes from it

I’ve gone close to eyes but not directly under. Haven’t gotten any dryness

I see. I'm a tretinoin user and also avoid using it there. Though a few times I have applied it there just to see what happens and nothing did.

Random question but do u know anything about Indiamart. I see people talking about it being a good place to order things like Tret etc

Curious tag when you make decision

Tazarotene 0.1 was highly effective for my PIE. You’d benefit a lot from increasing the strength as you’ve already gotten your skin used to taz, so you probably won’t purge a lot.

Where did u get 0.1 taz? I live in Canada and I don’t think they go higher than 0.045% arazlo taz for Canada. Is Indiamart legit or are there better sites?

0.1 tret imo 0.1 taz might be too strong

i often read that people tolerate taz much better than tret

 

[mlbmogger252]

I’m on 0.05 tret rn trying to fix the same shit as you. I have ipl soon but if that doesn’t help then I’ll probably switch to taz

 

[EthanCaldwell0928]

Yea it’s surprising too cuz taz is supposed to be more potent

I’m gonna do 0.1% taz

I don’t think there’s any cure for under eyes lol it’s painfully annoying (referencing above comment)

depends on what the cause is

if its collagen then u can try red light therapy and hope taz/tret collagen production also affects the undereyes

if loss of fat is the cause u need fillers/fat grafts or implants if bone is the issue

 

[GigaAryenMaxxer]

hydroquinone 4% is probably the best for pih. only apply on the spot

pie not pih

 

[mfk]

Azelaic Acid at 20% is the most effective treatment for PIE that can be used at home and isn’t laser.

Tret and Taz don’t do anything for PIE except prevent the development of new PIE by stopping acne from forming in the first place.

Random question but do u know anything about Indiamart. I see people talking about it being a good place to order things like Tret etc

I don’t know myself, but I know a guy who is really into all that stuff. Hgh, tret, test, DHT etc

He once told me that if somebody orders that stuff from Indiamart - they will die and that will be absolutely deserved for being low iq morons

Still, not an expert myself

 

[LegitUser]

it depends on the person some people find it alot more irritating compared to tret others find it alot gentler.

I will I don’t have the item yet and if I order from Indiamart it’ll take a couple of weeks. If u wanna see what my skin looks like right now go to my other post about the red scars

Someone else is telling me they order Taz and it came just fine and has helped their skin. I can definitely see why steroids would be risky tho. Do u think I should try indiamart, or use a site that doesn’t ship to Canada, but use a shipping forwarding service?

Where are some places I can get it from? If u read the rest of this thread you’ll see I’m in Canada and unfortunately my doctor is booked for like 6 months. Someone said indiamart but there’s a bit of a risk. Maybe I can use alldaychemist and then use a shipping forwarding service since they don’t ship to Canada. What do u think?

We got similar skin then but I just have more of it. Good luck to you fixing it

get Lefort 3, orbital implants, orbital decompression, fat graft,

the problem will be solved by one of these surgeries.

What about dark circles

 

[Maalik]

What about dark circles

in most cases i found the darkness is actually not true pigment
it is an optical illusion cretaed by thin, fatless skin. So the blood beneath is partially visible, giving that dark circle effect.

But using hydroquinone/kojic acid and other strong depigmentation agents is still a good idea just in case you really do have pigment problems.

Volufilline?

 

[Maalik]

Volufilline?

you can try it
idk if it works

if it does i recommend microneedling first. The skin fat is situated beneath the dermis. It will be hard to reach without microneedling

Ok, you mind if I can contact you with any other questions I have?

 

[Zain202]

I have been using tret from skinorac for this so I can recommend this

[JizzFarmer]

Why oral over topical?
