Tretinoin Usage Guide for beginners:
Step 1: Start Low
- Begin with the 0.025% concentration, especially if you've never used Tretinoin or Retin-A before.
Step 2: Apply at Night
- Use Tretinoin as the final step in your nighttime routine.
- Apply a pea-sized amount to your face, avoiding:

- Use a broad-spectrum SPF50 sunscreen during the day.
- Avoid prolonged sun exposure.
Step 4: Moisturize
- Combat dryness by:
- Using a hydrating moisturizer after Tretinoin or as part of your daytime routine.
Step 5: Consult & Educate

Absolutely fantastic for keeping my face clear. I have very oily combination skin and previously had mild/moderate acne and some hormonal cystic acne on my chin. It works amazingly and I haven’t had any adverse effects like dry skin etc. Literally had one tiny pimple since I started using it.
I was previously using epiduo forte prescribed by my gp which helped everywhere except my chin and made my skin extremely dry and flaky. The tretinoin is so much better. It’s even helped the fine lines and wrinkles that were appearing (mid 30’s).
I bought this, lipidz and z block and would recommend them all together. I also use cerave blemish control cleanser morning and night. I’m finally feeling happy with my skin and it’s all due to this gel after years or failed treatments and products. Thank you so much xx

Tretinion is a powerful Vitamin A , please make sure to do own research before you buy and use, Im currently on 2 weeks which i have introduced this to my skincare using it ONLY twice a week i got few peeling around my mouth area and I will soon increase the usage to 3 and then 4 times a week eventually , It takes 3-8 weeks to see full advantages of Tretinion so be patient with your skin and increase the percentage once only your skin has reacted comfortably to 0.025 🙂

I haven’t been using it long enough to see results, but it came in decent condition! However, the box was open when I received it, which concerned me. I figured it was fine because the seal on the product wasn’t broken.
