I'm not sure if they're stingy but I'm looking at coverage wise. So I just rather find some on the low.Are Drs stingy with Retin-A prescriptions? I've gotten it in the past when my acne was really bad, but it's better now so I'm wondering if I'll be able to get a script again.
Oh I didn't even think about that. I must not have been paying much for it in the pastI'm not sure if they're stingy but I'm looking at coverage wise. So I just rather find some on the low.
I came to ask a similar question.What if your skin fine and you just have a few dark spots, do you think it’s doing to much.
It’s good for all aging skin because it promotes cell turnover. So texture issues, acne, hyperpigmentation, etc are treated when you use it.What if your skin fine and you just have a few dark spots, do you think it’s doing to much.
Was your face dry/ patchy and flaky-ish with this stuff?

I do I’m seeing progress so far, I’ll be ordering another one, it expires 5/18, I need to order this week just in case it takes a while to get to me.It's still en route lol. I should get it by this week, I also made sure to get sunscreen. Do you like it so far?
Ditto and as it promotes collagen production, overtime your skin looks younger. You don't have to have "bad skin" to use it. I need to go back on it because it makes your skin amazing.It’s good for all aging skin because it promotes cell turnover. So texture issues, acne, hyperpigmentation, etc are treated when you use it.

I‘m so sorry both you went through that.
Everyones skin is different and it’s frustrating looking for stuff that will work for your skin specifically.
When I first started out using it, there was a period where my skin got worse (purging). I was so upset, but desperate, so I stuck it out and it did get better. It’s not a product where you will automatically see your skin clear up (most retinoids are like that). Took maybe 4-5 months to see a positive change.
Thank you, I tried to wait out the purging phase but it instead increased the oil production on my face, you could literally fry some chicken with the oil my face produced every single morning. It was crazy, I was almost depressed and just threw it in the bin one day.I‘m so sorry both you went through that.

Retinoids take forever to work. I was flaky for 4 months. (Luckily this was at the beginning of mask wearing). Now my skin is always glowy. But results differ for everyoneThis evil thing nearly destroyed my face and self esteem was in the gutters. I regret ever buying it.
For flaking, what helped me was using the Buffering technique. Basically it's moisturizer---tretinoin---moisturizer.I have been using tret every 3rd day for the last week and a half. Yall got me out here flaking! I swear, my skin better be perfect in a few months lol. As i mentioned, I don't have acne, just wanna clear up some hyperpigmentation and perfect my texture even more. I have been on the tretinoin subreddit and there's a lot of good advice there. I am gonna implement azelaic acid soon also.
Thank you! That's what I've been doing! I got so many good tips from the tret subreddit. I also picked up the vanicream daily moisturizer and it's so much better than the First Aid Beauty moisturizer I was using. My skin is less flaky this week. I also increased usage to every other day since it's doing so much better.For flaking, what helped me was using the Buffering technique. Basically it's moisturizer---tretinoin---moisturizer.
I've been incorporating that, and the flaking has been much better. And it doesn't mess up the efficacy of the tretinoin, so you'll still see results!
