Tretinoin purges

[mxdern]

How bad is purging while on tretinoin? will I want to rope for like 8 weeks straight?

I'm too high inhib to start without some kind of assurance

as someone who did tret and accutane, no its not crazy at all most likely you wont notice it. My purge on accutane was pretty bad but it doesnt last long, tret i didnt even have a purge.

tret i didnt even have a purge

is that cos you did tret after accutane?
my working theory is that accutane gets rid of all the stuff thats usually purged so tret doesnt really have anything to expel

regardless, im gonna start tn
thanks

With tret not bad, if you start gently and your skin is already used to retinoids, even slightly.
