I bought tretinoin 0.025 cream.
How long must i wait for benefits?
When do i see results?
And if i dont have a lot of acne, will i have tretinoin purge?

Everyone’s is different, you might purge or you might not. The chance is lower if you arent acne prone
Takes a couple months to see results
I just used it yesterday for the first time and my skin was kind of irritated when I woke up, so it might cause a little bit of sensitivity at first for some people

I was on tret for over 2 years before switching to accutane, you'll likely see results within a month (if you don't purge), but tret isn't a permanent fix and you are likely to breakout if you stop using it nightly. Definitely use moisturizer + SPF while you're on tret

I use a normal cleanser with niamicide then azelaic then a moisturizer with hyaluronic. Every 3 or so days i use tret so ot doesn't dry my skin out. Acne isn't really the main problem for me anymore since eating healthy can get rid of my cysts in a week or 2 whenever i get one

I see, in that case tret/tazarotene would be beneficial, especially for their collagen/anti-aging benefits
