Tretinoin/Retin a AMA thread

[Deleted member 7901]

Here are some improvements i recommend.

AM:
Wash face with water (no need to use cleanser)
Moisturize

PM:
Cleanser
Tretinoin
Moisturize

You are peeling because you are only moisturizing (locking in water) once per day but cleansing (drying out) twice a day. Do the opposite and there will be much less irritation. And yeah wear spf when u go outside.

why no cleanser?

why no cleanser?

Too irritating. Once per day is enough.

0.025, 0.05, 0.1 they all will make you peel the most important thing is regular usage over long period of time not the concentration
