Using tretinoin can come with a lot of side effects. While I’ve made many videos with these tips already, I still get so many comments/DMs about this. These are some things I did when I started tretinoin to help minimize irritation. I currently use .05 Tretinoin combined with 15% azelaic acid but i worked my way up to this veryy slowly.

The routine that has been working wonders for my skin… In the nighttime: 1- Micellar Water to Remove Makeup or Sunscreen 2- Gentle Hydrating Cleanser 3- Hydrating Essence or Serum (I don’t like layering moisturizer, so I use something lighter.. this step helps minimize irritation and flaking) 4- Tretinoin 5- Moisturizer In the morning, I wash with water, then I apply the following: 1- Vitamin C Serum 2- Moisturizer (sometimes I skip it if my sunscreen is already too moisturizing, especially in the summer) 3- Sunscreen

Tretinoin is a topical medication that is commonly prescribed for the treatment of acne. It works by increasing cell turnover and preventing the formation of new acne lesions. Tretinoin is often used in combination with other acne medications, such as benzoyl peroxide or antibiotics, to achieve the best results. Tretinoin can be effective for treating both mild and moderate acne, and it may also help to reduce the appearance of existing acne scars. However, it is important to note that tretinoin can cause skin irritation and sensitivity, so it should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

If you have very dry or sensitive skin, for the love of God, do not use Tretinoin as the first option. Start with retinol. Cerve or Inkey have good retinol serum. You should never use Tret as the first option, it's just too strong and most people do not need it. You should never use more actives than what your skin requires.

For sensitive/dry skin, I wouldn’t advise to top off the tretinoin with a moisturizer because you shouldn’t massage tretinoin. When you apply a moisturizer on top of it, you are also massaging tretinoin. Being a very potent ingredient, it can irritate your skin.

Uhm no? You should wait 10-20 minutes to apply moisturizer on top of tretinoin because the tretinoin will have dried down by that time so there’s no chance of ‘massaging’ it since the tretinoin will have absorbed.

Yup that’s exactly how I’ve used it alao. With great results

I follow Dr Stefanie Kappel advice on Tretinoin, she is an experienced dermatologist. She advises to mix a pea size Tretinoin with a face cream like sandwich together and apply to dry clean face. We have to start with the smallest disage like 0.025 and slowly wirk our way up in the frequency, once our skin can tolerate it daily, then we increase the dosage to 0.05. We repeat the process again we apply once or twice a week for a couple weeks, then slowly increase the frequency if the skin tolerats it for several weeks before we once again increase the potency to 0.1. Sunscreen is a must when using Tretinoin.

Wait so I can apply moisturizer before applying the tretinoin? I’ve been using it since late 2020 but I’ve always applied the tretinoin first, let dry, then apply moisturizer last like the directions advised. Does it make a difference or still work effectively if I apply moisturizer before the tretinoin? Also your skin is so flawless and beautiful!

So I’ve been using tretinoin for 4 years too, and I go to a pharmacy to get a gentle cleanser and the worker there tells me, oh no you should not use a gentle cleanser when you’re using tretinoin since the gentle cleanser will deem the tretinoin useless and I should get something for acne instead. I knew that was loads of misinformation and it makes me sad that they think they’re liable to give advice. When I resisted she persisted with frustration. So much gaslighting in the place where you’re supposed to feel safe. That’s in Kuwait btw, pharmacies are like Sephora in here.

Don't do any of the things these people commented! I can tell you from first-hand experience that these things will wreck the skin on your lips. The actual best thing is to use a lip balm with SPF. SPF applied regularly over several months naturally lightens skin, and that includes the lips. If that doesn't do as good a job as you want, or you want faster results, use a vitamin C lip product (at night). Look for something that has vitamin C high up on the ingredients list (because that usually means a higher concentration of product). Meanwhile, continue to use the SPF during the day - it will become even more important when using vitamin C, because even though vit C reduces pigmentation, it also increases your skin's sensitivity to sunlight... meaning if you don't protect it, the chances of getting sunburnt or even darker pigmentation will increase.
