Ive tried using tretinoin in the past, using it once every 3 days, but my skin was still peeling after using it for over a month and with no results, making my acne worse too. Did i have to wait it out? Was i not using it frequently enough? I was only using 0.025%

Im thinking about using it again because my acne is only getting worse

thoughts?

Hyaluronic acid, beef tallow and being hydrated

Tretinoin has a purging period which can last up to 2 months which is why you would’ve seen your acne get worse
You can try the sandwich method to reduce irritation and peeling although the peeling is a good sign means it is doing something!!
0.025% is good and every 3 days is fine u can increase usage later
