Getting on tret any advice or help?
Hi! I’m getting on tretinoin soon, and to be honest, I’m really nervous 😭!! I’ve been able to repair my skin, and currently I have no pimples, just some texture, closed comedones, and post-acne marks.
My routine is EXTREMELY simple because I’ve learned that’s exactly what my skin loves and prefers, especially since it’s so sensitive and dramatic. 😂 I use the Soul Apothecary Oat Cleanser, Sofie Pavitt Jelly Moisturizer, and Sofie Pavitt Acne-Prone Sunscreen.
I also give myself an at-home facial about once a week, and everything has been improving, even though I haven’t done one in a while. I’m planning on doing one in a few days, but I’m worried that starting tretinoin will undo everything that has been improving because of purging or other irritation.
I know purging can happen, but I’m honestly scared of going from having SEMI clear skin to suddenly dealing with a bunch of breakouts and irritation. 😭
Any advice or help would be MUCH appreciated. Thank you so much! 🥹
