What strength tretinoin should I start with?

[ajd]

Decided to stop coping with OTC skincare. Should i start with 0.025% or 0.5%? My skin is pretty resilient and I don't mind a bit of redness, just looking for results for reducing scarring and a stubborn acne cyst. If 0.025 is weak id just rather skip the cope.

If your skin is resilient and you’re okay with some redness, start with 0.05%
I’d personally start with a lower concentration and gradually transition to 0.05% to allow your skin to adjust more comfortably.

0.025% or 0.5% depend on yourself, i will say start with 0.05%. Apply a very thin layer (pea-sized amount) of tretinoin to your entire face and neck. 2 time a week nightly to start then you can do it 3 time a week. (Also wear sunscreen)
