Tret 0.05% skin flaking and a little irritation, how to recover and how to use it?

[driiip787]

I moistruze before i use tret, i take a pea size amount and use it for 3 times per week (i used retinol before so i thought using it that much would be okay, very retarded i know)

i dont know if i should stop for some time and begin, do i wait 3 days then do it again?

and is there better way of using tret? i hear some people moistruize, apply tret then moistruze

do you go out in the sun a lot, it dries your skin up while ur using tret

then you’re probably just sensitive to it

Do you apply it in the day? I could be wrong, but it seems like that's what your implying. Also Ideally you'd want to put Tretinoin, wait 10 minutes, then apply moisturizer, to maximize the absorption and efficiency of tret.

im also on 0.05 and i use La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+ every other night. this product does wonders with irratation and flaking, it also helps alot with hydration too. its pretty expnsive tho, im lucky i bought a bunch when they were half price at my local chemist

just do a thin layer of moistriser and let it dry for a few mins and then you add a thin layer of tret ontop
