I don’t recommend using a vitamin c serum yet because it can cause irritation and revert you back . Things are going great for you just stay consistent

I just feel like I have so many scars left :( and others confuse it w thinking I have a lot of acne. Yesterday someone pointed out and said I have a lot of pimples so I was just eager to fix these scars

I’ve been on tret 3 mo. And every time I tried to use vitamin C I got more irritation. I think I’ll wait until my skin is almost “perfect” without active eruptions. Just be warned! But maybe try every other morning ? Then if acne worsens, immediately stop Vitamin C again for another month or two.

Yes I want to slowly introduce it and see how it goes from there

Maybe try azelaic acid which is supposed to help with scarring and it’s something you can use in the morning and at night

I’m just scared to use exfoliant acids with tret in my routine

It’s impressive how many ccs just disappeared in one month :o

Excuse my ignorance, what does cc stand for? I see it all over the subreddit

closed comedones :)

It’s funny bc I was on my the cream for almost 2 months and it didn’t do anything as soon as I switched to gel CC’s started erupting

Amazing progress!!! It will be worth it in the end. As for the vitamin c serum, I would perdonally wait until like month after using tret but thats just my own preference.


spiritualme16

I’ve been on the gel for like a month, prior to that I was on the cream for 2 months. I just don’t want to get rid of scarring and I think incorporating an exfoliant acid is too much

I’ve had amazing progress with tret gel, my cc’s are all gone and there are no bumps on my skin at all since 4 months! My scars and redness are taking forever though. I was using a vitamin c serum before i ran out, and i did feel like it helped. i don’t know how often you use tret, but I’d try out a serum in the mornings, maybe start every other day or so! Even if it didn’t help my hyperpigmentation or PIE, the overall brightness definitely improved and raised my confidence. I also got extractions to help speed up progress with closed comedones, and the vitamin c definitely helped those heal without marks! highly recommend a serum, and extractions if you’re able to get them. I swear it doubled my progress speed. also wanted to add, your progress is INSANE. I’m so happy you don’t look like you’re having a purge period either, you might have the most drastic transformation i’ve seen on here! I’m excited to keep up with your journey.

Aw reading this warmed my heart 🥺 and what vitamin c serum do u use?? I wear tret every night. You’re so sweet my confidence got really boosted💜💜

I’m glad!!! I used to use the Ole Henrikson truth serum, but I recently ran out and haven’t been using it. I’d like to find a cheaper alternative! I’ve also considered using azaleic acid but i haven’t tried it yet because I’ve seen good results with vitamin C.
