What does tret even do?

[Furak]

So ig people with acne use it but it’s too overhyped and I don’t understand why.

I don’t have acne but my issues are dullness, bumpy textured skin, pores and nasolabial folds/smile lines. ( combination skin btw)

Is it something my skin needs?
If yes should I get 0.025% or 0.05%?
How much time to see results?

start off with 0.025, 0.05 will cause purging, you start seeing the first results after around 2 weeks

Oh and btw does it also give the accutane nose effect

 

[NordicLeonhard]

nothing

 

[svarddre]

It’ll help but not with folds

some yada yada my derm told me is that it renews and pushes new skin to the surface

its harsh at first but its worked great for me if ur starting do 25 first and build a tolerance (every other night then nightly until u can handle it)

then do the same process w 0.5 if u still need it

yeah, its very similar to accutane

It did nothing to slim my nose. I was on tret/tazarotene for 4 years then I stopped coping and hopped on accutane. Accutane or bust. If you want a slimmer nose.
