[Routine Help] Tretinoin routine help please!
Excuse this mess of a post but I desperately need help formulating a tretinoin routine.
These are my current regular products:
- Cleansing oil
- Innisfree Green Tea Amino Acid Cleansing Foam
- BOJ Glow Deep Serum Rice+Alpha Arbutin
- BOJ Dynasty cream
- [AM] BOJ Relief Sun: Rice+Probiotics (SPF50+)
- [PM] Finacea 15% Azelaic Acid Gel
- Hydrocolloid patches (pimple patches)
I’ve used tret on & off in the past, but knew nothing of barrier damage or caring for my skin while on tret. so every time i ended up with with damaged skin, severe breakouts and burning skin when i apply products.
i have tried to do some research but ended up a bit confused and so overwhelmed. my goal is to get my skin acclimated to tret without/ minimal barrier damage, and also focusing on improving my skin (acne, acne scars, skin texture, hyperpigmentation).
i’m not sure which products i should continue using and which to retire and most importantly which new products i should invest in. this is what i got from from my research that is recommended for tret.
- LRP cicaplast baume b5+
- Dimethyl Sulfone
- i am on the market for a new sunscreen (preferably MINERAL due to the burning sensation from chemical sunscreen, also TINTED as i gave dark skin and also safe for australian sun).
Is this a good place to start, are there any other products that is a must?
