Why has my nose become oilier from Tretinoin 0.05%

In early May I started Tretinoin 0.025%, did it every night for many nights and allowed my body to adapt. Then I travelled in early July after about 7-8 weeks of consistency, purge had begun and closed comedones were starting to surface.

I left to travel and tried staying consistent but a week in I lost my Tretinoin. Returned a week later (10 days without muh tret!) and when I came back I bought 0.05 because I thought my skin could handle it by now. It’s been maybe 2 weeks of me trying to consistently use it (Hard when you’re travelling and constantly going from place to place)

Now that I’ve been consistent with it since I was able to settle in one location (Thailand jfl) I’ve noticed that after applying tret I wake up with an oily nose which had only happened occasionally with 0.025.

Maybe this is bad, good, I’m not sure. Any advice or suggestions or theories much appreciated

Tretinoin glow
switch to isotret
or use powder

So this is a positive thing, I’m just waiting for the turnover to be significant enough, may take a while but thanks for letting me know
