How do you know if tret is not working or if your routine around it is the problem
Im trying to understand tret better because I see so many people say the routine around it matters just as much as the tret itself. I get that dryness and irritation can happen but i dont always know when its normal adjustment and when its my routine making everything worse
Right now my biggest confusion is what to keep using and what to stop like cleanser moisturizer sunscreen makes sense but then there are serums acids vitamin c barrier products and random things that say calming or repairing and I dont know what helps or just makes tret harder to tolerate
How do you figure out if tret is the issue or if your other products dont work with it. Do you track your routine somehow or just strip everything back until your skin calms down?
