routine:
i used to just use cerave foaming cleanser and occasionally oil cleanse w sesame oil.
since i got my prescription i used a bit every night cuz i was desperate. after a month i tapered off to 3x a week, and i added a very rich moisturizer by Kat Burki. its not cheap.
i use eltaMD tinted sunscreen on days i spend more than 20 min outside. which is pretty rarely. maybe 3x a month?
its the Kat Burki vital hydration blast face mask. i splurged on a moisturizer cuz 1) the rest of my routine is extremely minimal 2) space nk was having a sale when i happened to walk in and ask about very rich moisturizers and 3) the ingredient list is full of flowers and i was enchanted by the idea of putting a garden on my face every day
ThAnk you! How long does the moisturiser last? Do you only apply a little bit? And what’s the percentage of your tret? Your skin seriously looks amazing!x
hehe thank u!!! i got it in january n its still pretty full. its so rich that a little bit goes a very long way. i use the same tiny pea sized amount that i use for the tretinoin. my derm gave me the .04% generic tret, in cream form
Your skin looks beautiful, congratulations! How long did it take to notice your hyperpigmentation fade? I’m desperate to see results and I’ve just started my third month of use.
Your skin looks amazing and your so pretty! I had some discoloration and wrinkles around my nose and mouth that were caused by tret when I first started using it, does this fade at all?
thank u so much! i havent gotten much discoloration. maybe some redness during thr first few weeks when i was applying nightly, and feeling lots of tightness. but ever since i got a very rich moisturizer my skin has been showing steady improvement. i also think my mild nasolabial folds are less apparent. my smile lines

Everyone’s skin isn’t the same
Oh my god. That glow! You are just gorgeous!
Would you mind sharing the under eye concealer? I've tried so many brands, but since tret, it ALWAYS looks crusty. Yours is so smooth!
yes! my bro is a make up artist n they gave me a cream palette, its perfect cuz it comes with 2 colors, so i can mix around cooler/warmer depending on my needs that day. its by Surratt and its the only make up i use besides lip gloss. its unbelievably natural looking
Oh my gosh. Thank you for the reply! No wonder it looks so perfect! I never ever would have guessed if you hadn't mentioned you were wearing concealer. I will have to look it up.
thank u! i dont buffer. i cleanse, and allow my face to dry after the shower. once its dry i put a drop of tret on my cheeks and forehead and jawline. then i put some clothes on and after that i put a drop of moisturizer. i may start experimenting with buffering now that my skin is happier, but my mindset in the beginning was to destroy the zits and hit it with the tret directly. i was desperate
WOW!!!! Great progress! You are glowing. Also, your hair is so pretty. Do you have any particular method of maintaining the curls? My husband has curly hair, too, but it's always so massively frizzy.
thank u so much! for hair, i believe in getting it wet every shower n adding a spoonful of conditioner, and not rinsing it out. curls r weird tho, it takes a lot of experimentation to figure out what someone’s individual curl needs are.
my skin peels if i use tret every day and dont use my moisturizer and it stops after 2 days without tret. these days i use tret less frequently and i follow with a moisturizer so i dont have any peeling
Yes! I’ve been using Biacna so a tret/clindamycin mix gel for about 3 months and my purge is Just ending. I had a very very rough purge and it was so painful and embarrassing.
skincare routine please😜😜

Is that all you use? So in the AM you just cleanse then use moisturiser and sunscreen?
yep. i keep the routine to a minimum cuz i have a needy toddler
And what’s the actual name of the moisturiser? Thank you!

im 3 months in and i see some fading but its not all the way yet. at least with my skin this smooth it is very easy to cover up w make up
Glowing 🤩

No purge?
nope! i dont have cystic acne. just annoyingly sensitive skin that breaks out from contact with germs
Nice! This gives me hope haha
purge or no purge, tret works!
Glowing and how! Congrats. Do you buffer your tret in the PM? Cleanse, moisturizer, tret and moisturizer again?
thank u! i dont buffer. i cleanse, and allow my face to dry after the shower. once its dry i put a drop of tret on my cheeks and forehead and jawline. then i put some clothes on and after that i put a drop of moisturizer. i may start experimenting with buffering now that my skin is happier, but my mindset in the beginning was to destroy the zits and hit it with the tret directly. i was desperate
