DazzlingDervish+FollowWill My Skin Ever Catch a Break? The Tretinoin RollercoasterSome days my skin feels like it’s finally turning a corner, and then—bam!—another breakout, usually right on schedule with my cycle. I’ve been using tretinoin every night for over two months (I know, I know, not the textbook way), and while my skin’s handled it, the ups and downs are exhausting. Tiny pimples, stubborn comedones, and slow-fading scars keep testing my patience. I’m so over feeling like I’m always waiting for the real glow-up. Anyone else stuck in this endless breakout loop? How long did it take before you finally saw consistent results? #skincarestruggles #acnejourney #tretinoin #Beauty #Skincare30Share
mandy27+Followhow I finally made tretinoin work for my sensitive skinStarting tretinoin when you have sensitive skin? Here's my gentle approach: - Begin with 0.01% strength every other night - Wait 30 minutes after washing before applying - Avoid lips, nostrils and eye areas - Use hyaluronic acid serum and moisturizer in AM - ALWAYS wear sunscreen (hands too!) - Pause other actives (AHAs, Vitamin C) while adjusting - If irritation occurs, take a break and restart slowly Remember: consistency with a lower dose beats struggling with a higher one!
