How to lessen tretinoin sensation?

[lifelover]

i started using the 0.5mg version and it feels like my face will fall off all day is there anything that can lessen this feeling? ive been only using it for 2 days tho, i think i will only apply it again next week

 

[NewFuckingDay]

Don't worry bro my skin was peeling off my face when I used it now It's fine and I'm switching to tarazotene which is like an upgraded tret

Wtf sis people use 0.1% or 0.05% not 0.5% holy moly

I didn't have any scars I just had slightly dull skin with damage from shaving, yes it made my skin more mogger but I feel as my skin got used to it, if you can switch to tarazotene

Try to lower the frequency of use ( 1x a week ) and moisturize heavily after all over face (even the spots you didn't use tretnion on) and focus on moisturizing around the eyes

They aren't scars it's just skin that's renewing, I have no scars from Tret

thank you i will only once a week then, and yes im using cicaplast to moisturize and lots of sunscreen

 

[NewFuckingDay]

What did you use for shaving bro

I use a single blade razor shit kills me every time, I need a foil shaver

The best is a safety razor with a shaving brush and cream

yeah get a ss with uva and uvb and spf 50+

Yes safety razors are mogger, they don't shave as close though but are good at shaving down medium stubble, I'm just too lazy to buy more double edged blades

 

[TonyDr]

, they don't shave as close though

Wdym bro mines shave me close

 

[NewFuckingDay]

Wdym bro mines shave me close

Not mine

 

[TonyDr]

Not mine

What's the model ? Cheap ass safety razor from china ain't shit tbh

I'm just too lazy to buy more double edged blades

Also not all the blades shave the same
Some brands will be better than others etc

idk i just buy from amazon

 

[Aglincevsagit1998]

I had the same thing too, skin peeling and sometimes a burning sensation

I ended up applying it EOD, only a pea sized amount. Make sure you use a moisturizer and facial cleanser that isn't harsh. My go to is LRP effaclar or CeraVe for oil control both worked fine and the main active is just salicylic acid.

The whole skin peeling thing went away after a month and I ended up with really nice and smooth skin.

Made in germany/italy safety razors shave far better, also depends what brand of blades you use

this gives me hope thenn, yes the most annoying is the burning sensation.

im using la roche’s cicaplast baume b5 for moisturizer but it leaves my skin a bit oily when i do make up so i think i will change for something with oil control components thank youu

results after only a month are very impressive i hope i get them too

Normally the concern is not the type (like safety razor vs not), it's how many blades. I use 5 blade razors that are safety and it works great for my face.

@TonyDr Unless Tony disagrees with what I said above ^ Counting he seems to be more of an expert than I am.

5 blades can cause more razor bumps and shit than one blade only, one blades are closer too but have a more risk to cut yourself

I guess thats true, at least for your face. Have you tried an eyebrow razor then?

Edit: I notice I cut myself less with an eyebrow razor as well for my jaw/etc

Eyebrow razor for facial hair? no. For shaping brows I just use the same single razor lmao

 

[Randomized Shame]

I think this talk has made me realize I don't actually grow that much facial hair...

I started traditional wetshaving in 2019. I use safety razors, straight razors, alongside shaving soaps & brushes etc
It's not how many blades, it's one blade who's sharp enough to cut comfortable, and the edge being able to last 2 or 3 shaves

If you're satisfied with the 5-blades cartridges, good for you but i'm NOT spending ~30euros for a pack of 8 cartridges lmao
