TRETINOIN SKIN THINNING

[BigEFN]

I'm currently on tretinoin 0.05% , I was wondering if that's a sweet spot or if I could move to 0.1% if I have no irritation. But I saw a eye are thread saying to only apply tretinoin 0.025% around eyes. Does tretinoin thin skin? It makes a thinner stratum corneum but if I upgrade % will that be bad? Not sure if % strength matters if you get no irritation.

It's recommended to start at 0.025% to see if you can tolerate it before moving up, you can 100% stay at the 0.025%, but the results will take longer

It will thin at first but over time it'll thicken

6 months now
the first 2 months were hell, purging, looking uglier but it gets better just have to suffer at some point while your skin adjusts
tons of guides on here about tret/dosages etcetera massively helped me
