How to survive the tretinoin purge (without losing your mind)?๐Ÿ™‡๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Tretinoin hits hard before it hits home! But these tips can help:
1. Start slow. Like, twice a week slow. Your skin needs time to adjust, so donโ€™t go in daily right away.
2. Moisturizer is your BFF. Put some on before tret to buffer the sting, and then again after. Hydrated skin = less irritation.
3. Keep your routine boring. No acids, no scrubs, no drama. Just a gentle cleanser, tretinoin, and a solid moisturizer.
4. SPF every single morning.
5. Donโ€™t pick. Donโ€™t poke. Purging can be frustrating, but messing with your skin will only make it worse.
6. Give it time (4โ€“8 weeks).
