Been on topical tretinoin for almost a year now, start with a little only at night before bed. It will most likely burn so gradually work your way up to higher amounts over time. It’ll burn your face off if you start with too much, I know from experience

And dont expose yourself to sunlight while you have it on, but thats basic common sense so you should already know that

You should if you’re gonna be in the sun for long periods of time, but if you’re gonna be in the sun for five seconds and you dont have it on its not the end of the world, I do highly recommend wearing sunblock whenever you can

well i’m in the uk and the uv is very low here. but apparently you should still wear it either way. also how long did it take you to see results

Started seeing results in two to three months, topical tretinoin is a fucking magic cream I had shit acne and when I started using it, it got rid of everything decently quick. Only downside is that it isnt the best for removing scarring so you’ll have to get microneedling or other treatments for scars after you get rid of the acne

would you say starting tret on almost clear skin is low iq? i heard it's good for preventing future acne + anti aging even if skin is clear (after initial purge)

on clear skin? yes, It's retarded unless you're in mid20s or older

i heard it's good for preventing future acne

true, that is if you're even gonna get that in future
If you have mild acne problem, it can be good

+ anti aging even if skin is clear (after initial purge)

useless unless you're over mid-20s , extra work & skin sensitivity for nothing

if 23 is not the right age i will use some topical retinoids, what would you suggest tho?
