0.025% Tretinoin: The Gentle Introduction
For first-time users or those with sensitive skin, 0.025% tretinoin is ideal. It provides all the benefits of tretinoin, including improving acne and fine lines, without causing excessive irritation.
Routine:
- Cleansing: Use a gentle, hydrating cleanser like CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser.
- Tretinoin Application: Apply a small amount of Buy Tretinoin Tretinoin Cream (0.025%) to your face, starting slowly—2-3 times a week.
- Moisturize with a rich moisturizer such as CeraVe Moisturizing Cream.
- Sunscreen is a must during the day to protect your skin.
0.05% Tretinoin: The Balanced Strength
Once your skin has adjusted to 0.025%, you can move up to 0.05% for a stronger effect. This concentration is ideal for individuals dealing with acne and early signs of aging but still want to avoid too much irritation.
0.1% Tretinoin: The Maximum Strength
0.1% tretinoin is for those who have built up a tolerance to the lower concentrations and are looking for faster results. It’s ideal for treating deep wrinkles, severe acne, and dark spots.
