Can you use tret even if you have no acne? My pores get a little clogged and my skin texture just isn’t smooth. I also have milia like under my eye area around my zygos and after hopping on test I have little fucking hairs that are super high up on my face that sometimes become ingrown hairs. Should I just hop on .025% tret because everything else is lowkey cope and hasn’t done shit for my skin.

yes you can and i recommend it.
i´m on a low dose accutane so i get no acne and i still use 0.025% tret to boost collagen.
ive seen good progress.
just dont overdo it.


little guide =

Application principles
(“low and slow”):
  • Apply at night only (light-sensitive).
  • Cleanse gently; wait until skin is fully dry (15–30 min) to reduce irritation.
  • Pea sized amount for the entire face; dab on forehead/cheeks/chin then spread thinly. Avoid eyes, lips, nostrils initially.
  • Start 2–3 nights/week → every other night → nightly as tolerated over weeks to months.
  • Buffering (“sandwich”): Moisturizer → wait → tretinoin → moisturizer (especially early on).
  • Morning: Gentle cleanser + moisturizer + broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily...

  • Buffering (“sandwich”): Moisturizer → wait → tretinoin → moisturizer (especially early on).
  • Morning: Gentle cleanser + moisturizer + broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily (non-negotiable; increased photosensitivity).
  • Avoid concurrent strong actives (AHAs/BHAs, high-strength vitamin C, physical scrubs) on tretinoin nights until tolerant.
Retinization period: Temporary dryness, redness, peeling, stinging, or acne flare (weeks 1–4+). This is expected as turnover accelerates and usually improves with continued careful use + moisturization. Do not over-apply or escalate frequency too quickly.
