What's the consensus on using Tretinoin with MT2 / tanning / sun exposure?

I still haven't been able to get a consistent view on whether or not these two can be combined or not.

Even dermatologists I've spoken to have given me wishy-washy answers.

Is minimal sun exposure + MT2 okay while on tretinoin? Will it damage your skin if you do this? or simply hinder your Tret results?

Has anyone out there experimented with this or have links to any studies?

When I say minimal sun exposure, I'm talking like 2 hours a week (1 hour sat / sun). This is all you need for a ridiculous tan on MT2.

That is all.

Maybe you can get away with MT and little sun exposure, but i wouldn't risk it, i had to stop it in summer due to getting sun spots even with sunscreen, im very white though and Spain's sun is hot.

Were you on tret at the time?
 
I was in tret + MT2 from August-january

I rot in my basement but would get 20 mins sun every 2-3 days

I found it fine,I was also on accutane at this time

I’m off and on tret and use mt some days when it’s sunny. I burn less and tan more on mt+retin a than I do with neither

Interesting.

How much MT2 were you dosing and how often?

Would you use sunscreen at all?

so you have been able to tan while doing tret this way?

I’ve been on 50mg strong dosage of accutane and probably only been sunburned like twice in the 6 months. Dermatologists exaggerate the sun effects while on tret. I actually found the sunburn healed quicker while on tret but I had a somewhat reddish skin tone throughout the entire treatment regardless of sunburn or not
