Tretinoin forever the goat 🫧

5/2 Edited to

... Read moreHaving relied solely on tretinoin and daily SPF for years, I've seen how powerful this routine can be for maintaining youthful, radiant skin without resorting to lasers or other intensive procedures. Tretinoin, a derivative of vitamin A, accelerates skin cell turnover, which helps fade fine lines, even out skin tone, and clear acne. It's truly a game-changer for anti-aging skincare. I pay careful attention to sun protection because tretinoin can make your skin more sensitive to UV rays. Using a broad-spectrum SPF everyday has been essential to prevent damage and maintain the benefits of tretinoin. This combination creates a protective and renewing barrier, which keeps skin healthier over time. Many people worry about the initial dryness and peeling when starting tretinoin, but I found that gradually introducing it and keeping my skin hydrated really minimized these side effects. Over time, tretinoin not only improved my skin's texture but also provided a natural glow and firmness. I haven’t felt any need for additional treatments like lasers because tretinoin has consistently delivered noticeable results. For anyone debating whether to incorporate tretinoin into their regimen, I’d say it’s worth trying, especially under dermatological guidance. Its proven anti-aging effects make it a foundation of skincare for all ages seeking lasting improvements without invasive methods.

How to use tretinoin from a Dermatology PA:

Start with a pea sized amount for the entire face. Apply it at night on dry skin, then layer moisturizer on top. If you’re getting irritated, use the “sandwich method” by applying moisturizer first, then tretinoin, then moisturizer again. Start 1 to 2 times per week and increase slowly as tolera
