I ordered tret on some indian pharma site, will take 2 months to arrive, wanted to start something until I get it

should I just apply CeraVe after retinol?
CeraVe is facial cleanser, you wash your face 2 times a day. You then use your tretinoin/retinoids at night.

Make sure your face is completely dry and cleaned when applying

Make sure you apply at night, tretinoin increases your skins susceptibility to UV damage.

Peeling skin is common, if that is the case, increase the interval of which you apply tret. For example, instead of every 2 days, you apply every 4 days.

After applying tretinoin, it is perfectly fine to put on moisturizer on top of it if you suffer from peeling skin.

Alternatively you can also put moisturizer...
iam using it rn hihi

Use CeraVe facial cleanser for your skin type + Tretinoin 0.025 every 2 days at night.

Dermastamp along tret for better results.

Alternatively you can also put moisturizer on your skin, then apply tret, and then another layer of moisturizer on top. It's called the "sandwich" method that redditors invented for people with extremely drying/peeling skin

Once you have used tretinoin for a while and have built resistance, you can also try using Vaseline after applying tretinoin, it is claimed to have increased the effectiveness of the treatment.

it's weak as shit but go ahead it'll still get your skin used to retinoids, I never had any sides besides flaking from tret due to using retinoids for years.
