Thanks for reading
I'm wondering if this is a one off or if others have had similar experience with Tretinoin
Ordered after Consultation with Dermatica , had a small add on as all on offer
Read instructions thoroughly - cleansed patted dry , applied 2 pumps to fingers and gently spread across face .. no reaction at all
Moisturised about 10 mins later
Woke up to spots that I've not had for many many years / redness / mild irriatation feeling when washed face and touched forehead
Proper white head spot on cheek .. went to apply my usual tinted moisturiser to go to work and it all sat cracked and dried up on my face .. have not reapplied since , skin feels slightly irritated and is soaking up moisturiser like the Sahara
Not suitable ? To be expected? Worth persevering ? All in my head ? ( used it once )
Looking forward to hearing others experiences 👋🏻

I started Tret at Christmas, can only seem to tolerate it at all on my forehead and jawline, even using it every 3rd night has made my cheeks break out and looks horrendous and my neck is really itchy.
Think I am not going to persevere on my cheeks as not really a problem area for me anyway.
Does anyone else only use it on specific areas and what about the neck area?
