not sure if 0.1% is too strong, will be pairing with spf 50 (obvs).

which ever one creates a burning sensation when you apply it for the first time

Never use strong versions. I made a mistake and this caused me wrinkles on my forehead
Your skin needs to adapt
But it could be different if you have oily skin type In my case it was dry skin
Start with 0.25 and see how you'll react

gonna play it safe and go 0.05
 
if it's cream no problem, but if it's gel when you will apply it will litterally burn your skin

I found that for me it really didn't matter. My skin isn't really effected by anything. I don't even know if tret helped my skin get better or if it was just puberty ending or something else. Also basic skincare didnt do shit.
Spf kinda works ig
 
0.025 is what I use and didn't have any issues so far. Hella benefits tho

this is the one imma get
 
If you have very sensitive skin it’s better to start with 0.025%, you can finish the tube and ask for a stronger percentage if it goes well. I wouldn’t start with 0.1, but 0.05 could be fine if you take it slow

i was thinking either 0.1 or 0.05 3 nights per week
