Rawdogging Tret = Total Success

STOP USING MOISTURIZER WITH TRET. OR ANYTHING ELSE FOR THAT MATTER. NOTHING ELSE. JUST TRET AT NIGHT. FACE CLEARED UP ALMOST COMPLETELY IN TWO NIGHTS. ALL CAPS BECAUSE THIS IS INSANE.

Have been on Tret since February. M30. Have always struggled with horrible cystic acne on neck and jaw line / awful red bumps that look similar to razor burn no matter what I do along with general rosacea. My skin got worse since February no matter what - until this past weekend when I started using Tret alone at night and it’s like magic.

I have extremely sensitive skin. Since I was a teenager nothing has been able to make these bumps on my neck go away - until I tried Tret alone at night lol. It wasn’t the azelaic or ivermectin I use - although they do help. I’ve tried a whole laundry list of other things too. I’m stunned!

I’m fully convinced the sandwich method completely ruins Tret. I can see how moisturizing a half hour later might work but for now I’m totally good on that!

Morning:

Anua 3% Azelaic Toner
15% Azelaic Gel
Ivermectin Cream 1% w/ Niacinamide
La Roche Posay Cica Plast B5 Balm
Elta MD Green Tinted UV 50 Skin Recovery Sunscreen

Night:

Cerave Hydrating Foaming Cleanser
Tret .025
