Hi,
Has anyone else that suffered from mental health issues gone on accutane? If so, did it affect your mental health at all? I’m just wondering cause it was offered to me by my dermatologist but as I tend to struggle with mental health and I’d heard it could affect mood, I was hesitant.
Hi,
So I was literally just prescribed tret for acne, scars etc, and I was told to use it twice a week for now, I wasn’t told to build it up or anything like that, so do I have to? Like was it an oversight on my derm’s part or does she just want me to use it for that many times until I see her next? But if I only use it that much, how will I know the true potential results I could have?
I also wasn’t told if I’d have to use a different moisturiser. Is e45 facial cream thick enough to use with the tret? If not, what’s a good moisturiser (that’s not over a $100) to help prevent tret from drying my skin out and messing with my skin barrier.
Also does tret make acne worse before it gets better? If it gets worse is that a good sign that it’s working? How long until you start to see results?
Also I was basically just told to cleanse my face with a gentle cleanser, sunscreen, moisturiser and then the tret. Does that seem like a reasonable skin routine? I’m just quite hesistant and concerned cause I don’t want my face to completely dry out and flake as I already get some itchy spots which I mentioned to my dermatologist but she didn’t seem concerned, so idk.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi,
I was given tretinoin by my dermatologist and I was just wondering how other people with acne prone, congested, sensitive skin found it? My dermatologist did specify that it could dry out my skin or irritate it so I’m a little hesitant as I don’t want to be trying to fix one thing only to get more problems.
Anyone care to share their experience?
Hi,
I was just curious as to why every time I wear foundation it goes on nice then like an hour later it ends up cakey, blotching and coming off everywhere? I use moisturiser, primer and spray but it still comes off? Could it be a skin issue? Like maybe my skin is dry/dehydrated and it’s messing with how the makeup sits on my face? Any advice is welcome please.
