Tretinoin Help.

[FuckOffCleanShirt]

I'm late-30s and finally starting to take skincare seriously.

I want to give Tretinoin a try. But I have some questions. Sorry if these are dumb.

1. How do I get hold of it given its only available on prescription in the UK? Do I need to find and see a dermatologist?#
2. But if I do see a dermatologist, would they even prescribe it given there's nothing 'wrong' with my skin?
3. What dosage form does Tretinoin come?
4. Do you have a recommended routine to begin with? For example, using every other day to start with?
5. How do you use Tretinoin? As a night cream, a day cream, twice a day? As a moisturiser replacement?
6. Can you use it alongside other products such as toner, face oil etc.?

Thanks for your help.

I use tret and sometimes add azelaic acid in the morning and its effective

I also ordered from here and it was super fast. What strength did you have?

0.1% but I've been using it for over a year and built up to that. I started on 0.025%.

Iuse skin and me they actually start on a really low dose, I started on 0.003 back when they first began about 3 years ago, I was able to get to 0.027% very quickly but when I got to 0.03 I got really sensitive flakey skin and had to drop down twice to lower percentages, so I was on 0.024 fir a while about a year, I've just gone back up to 0.027. It's way stronger than retinol so it's best to take it slow. It's also worth noting that it's an ongoing thing and results aren't usually seen until about 3 months. Stronger strengths can get results quicker but there is risk of damaging the skin barrier. I read an article below, which basically says that 0.025% works just as well as 0.05 but just slower. https://www.dearbrightly.com/are-higher-strengths-of-tretinoin-always-better/

I have stuck with skin and me and found their customer service really good when I had irritation when the strength was increased I contacted them and they sent me a lower strength doser free of charge straightaway. If you're getting on well you can also ask them to increase the strength. The link below gives you your first month free just £3.50p&p. You can pause stopor delay easily, I find my doser lasts longer than a month even though I use it daily so sometimes delay. If you like it and stick with it you also get your 5th doser free.

is this effective at 0.1?

I have looked at skin &me and did their quizz. The plannincludes a “daily doser” but no i fo as to what is inside… will it be tret? I dont want to pay £28 for something i didnt want

No thats retinol. Tret is better and atleast 10 times more effective than the retinols.

Both Skin and Me and Dermatica provide tret, not other retinols.

It’s tretinoin that skin and me do, they don’t do any other form

Retinols are very less effective than prescription tret
