Tretinoin Purge Phase is brutal

[coispet]

I never suffered from acne or anything growing up, the occasional pimple here and there

I knew my purge when starting tret wouldn’t be as bad compared to the people that are actually prescribed it, but I am suffering from something very bad

Dry skin, it’s peeling off, and every time I express my fave it stings, really badly

Here’s a pic of my skin when I wake up

Spoiler: Reference

I’m only on day 3 too, let’s hope it gets better in a months time

also if you have never suffered from acne why u on tret

Yup, thankfully I don’t get the brutal breakouts where they have some crazy acne all over their face

But fuck it really stings

Just for the anti-aging benefits

I still get this shit occasionally, shaving daily helps to keep it at bay.

It's alright. Should be the least of your worries

wanted to hop on it but they refused to prescribe it to me

I get it a lot around my nose and forehead, but I guess I’ll shave regularly now

I bought mine from AllDayChemist, got it in 2 weeks, very surprised it came extremely quick

 

[Thebuffdon690]

I don’t get why people just don’t use Tazarotene

 

[halloweed]

I’m getting hyperpigmentation from tret.

 

[halloweed]

I don’t get why people just don’t use Tazarotene

it’s not mentioned in this forum enough tbh

 

[coispet]

I don’t get why people just don’t use Tazarotene

I’ve researched it, not enough long term research/results on it, Tretinoin is universally used and is known for anti aging, I don’t mind the side effects at the beginning since it’s worth it in the end

Yeh not sure why that is tbh

It’s way stronger than tret and doesn’t give you that gay shine that tret does. Also it works quicker than tret as well

 

[maou]

I'm on 0.05% Tret for same reason @coisbhai did u straight up jump to everyday usage?

Use glycerine after you apply tretinoin thank me later

Tretinoin doesn’t really give a gay shine, as long as it’s suspended in DMO

 

[Deleted member 39838]

im off it i want a tan instead

I do everyday dosage and jumped to 0.1% straight, the easy access retinols never did anything

Yeh I guess they function more or less the same I’d rather use taz tho for sure since it’s more effective

 

[Deleted member 39838]

was only on it for acne anyways then i realized that i have a whole type of differnt acne which tret doesn’t help

brutal

Your skin looks fine bhai

 

[Gaygymmaxx]

Are you using a lot of moisture and Hydraulic acid?

And what is the cleanser?

A full morning routine usually fixed the dryness from my tret overnight, or even when I was on tret + accutane for Dat evil purge

For me I do

Panoxyl cleanser, 1 minute of low friction scrubbing (pre sudded up with water in your hand in the shower so it's bubbly)

Then get out,

1/2 tbsp moisturizer

Hydraulic acid, 1 tsp

Sunscreen, less than a tsp

Toner, full tsp

Then moisturizer again

Then Toner again

You can skip the last 2 if you don't have as dry of skin as me, but I definitely got the dry skin type too.

 

[Deleted member 39838]

looks great sometimes and looks like dogass sometimes

bb cream saved my life and that’s not exaggeration

not having to worry about breakouts as much bc i can just cover them reduced my cortisol levels a shit ton

i used to stress ridiculously hard about my acne

 

[Deleted member 20399]

I never had the tret purge

I constantly apply SPF throughout the day, I use a cleanser that counteracts oily skin since that’s what I suffer from the most, and my moisturiser is a La Roche one I forgot what name

Thanks for the routine

I just got my bb today how does it work? Is it basically just concealer?

Yeah I’ve heard some people don’t get it, did you see the benefits of tret? And when did you see them?

 

[Deleted member 39838]

Hydraulic acid?

thoughts on the supplement version?

seen somewhere it can also make ur skin less try and maybe even make ur lips look more full/plump

i have some but have only started taking it for like a week

For the spf at what point do u apply it? Before or after the retinoid at the beginning or end of ur routine ?

 

[Deleted member 39838]

yes pretty much.

u can either use it on blemishes or on your whole face.

It's good stuff

Use for lips too yeah I have mogger lips but also indian

Aquafor is needed for dry lips + hydralunic acid

If ur on normal chapstick it's a problem get aquafor on amazon.

I need to start stamping again but I feel like it gave me hair real high on my cheeks

It does do wonders though for turnover

might try the topical on lips also. never have. worth a shot ig. u apply before or after aquaphor

if I don't shave for a day it's back, it won't ever go away fully, it's just all the excess tissue your skin is producing, shaving scrapes it off.

if you don't want to shave find a gentle exfoliator and use that regularly or just scrub harder.
