What strength type did you start with? Recommend? Im currently using the ordinary emulsion 0.2 nightly, I have dry/sensitive skin. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Month 3 of 0.05%. Cheeks: fine. Mouth/chin: raw, peeling, wanted to quit.
Derm said “it’s the perioral triangle — thinner skin + high TEWL.”
What failed: Vaseline, Cicaplast, sandwich method. All burned or pilled.
What worked: Treating it like a wound.
Night routine:
Result: Barrier caught up by week 6. Now 2-3x/week maintenance.
If your triangle flares, you’ll stop tret. Save the zone first.
What’s your perioral triangle survival tip? Or are you still fighting it?
i cant figure out if its sun damage ( knowing i use Uriage Hyseac consistently and i wear hat and protect well ) or its melasma , im more of concerned about the one next to my eyebrow , do u think tretinoin has anything to do with it and should i stop it ?

Hey everyone! I’m looking for some feedback on my plan to start my tret + azelaic acid journey.
**My Skin Profile:**
Medium brown skin (very prone to deep post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation/dark spots). Oily, acne prone and very easily clogged/prone to closed comedones.

Please let me know if I should start this or if I'm doing something wrong! I would love to hear any tips and recommendations you have, especially if you have a similar skin type. Thanks!
Hey guys . My GP gave me prescription for 0.05% tret which at chemist warehouse is around $75.
But I can see some online platform selling 0.1% tret at $35.
Has anyone else ordered these cream tubes online and are they any different from the one sold by chemist warehouse
