So I’m planning on buying retinoids for skin quality, my skin has been trash recently and I notice a few pimples forming

Should I go tretinoin?I don’t have acne, I’ve never had acne, the worst I’ve ever had was a eczema break out all over my face.


Some help would be nice

Tretinoin is goated, start with 0.025% and to sandwiche method.
Wash your face with a gentle non striping cleanser, I use the toleriane one from la roche pussy.

ONLY USE TRET AT NIGHT.

Pat with towel
Wait 2-3 mins for face to dry apply moisturizer.

Wait then 20-30 mins for all the water and moisture to dry. ( Having a wet face is making the tret to go deeper into the skin and can create bad skin burns bra and it hurts like shit)

Apply like a pea size on your finger and make little spots all over your face after that rub it gently. ( You can add a bit more if U miss a spot but just a tiny bit )

Wait another 15-20 mins applying moisturizer.
Try finding a good moisturizer for you, I use something from the ordinary

Use it in the first 2 weeks 1-2x times no more than that e.g: use monday next Thursday or sum ( search online for the cycle)

SPAM THE SHIT OUT OF MOISTURIZER AND SPF 50+++ IN THE MORNINGS or you will turn red like a tomato and your face will sting like 1000 bees.
Get a sun stick and a cream or just get anything that goes with u.

I don’t really do skincare I just do fuckall with my skin, I have a lot of black heads on my nose.
Usually if I just leave my skin alone it clears out, I’ll follow this advice though.
Any good skin care brands?

U can combine it with azelaic acid but I didn't went into that to tell you how u should do it, so u must do your own research.

Tretinoid is a prescription cream, only way for you is indiamart or another source.

Also is very concerning that u have 1.7k posts and you don't know the basics. Please ascend and forget this is for your own good ❤️

I know the basics I really just don’t care for skincare

Not that it isn’t important but I haven’t had skin issues until just now

I doubt it’s stress, my diet hasn’t changed much either

I’ve been using water only, I’m gonna try treat start out at 0.025 and work from there.

Thanks

Tretinoid 0.025%
Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser
Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA
Tocobo Cotton Soft Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++. ( I use this specific spf because it has a matte finish, but there might be better spf that are also moisturizing and will.help with tret, you can try those but they have a oily finish tho I'm not sure )
