Sometimes
it’s good to be courageous. I initially got some smaller samples of Retin-A in
0.1% and I got really brave one day and decided to try to use it ( and due to
the fact that it will be expired if I don't use it). So instead of using my
0.05% every night, I switched to using 0.1% every other night followed by
CeraVe in the tub. I've been on that routine for two tubes of the sample ones
until I got up the courage to call my dermatologist to update my prescription.
Now I am using 0.1% every other night working up to every night. So far no
dramatic peeling and new spots flatten and dies down much quicker. I am very
happy about it and looking forward to great results and using it life long.
Keflex
has
been working magic in my body. But my dermatologist and I 's goal is to be off of Keflex
and using only Tretinoin. I've been taking one capsule a day for 1 week, and
ever other day for 1 week, 2 times a week for 2 weeks, and finally now, I'm
only taking it when I feel like there is a (or some) stubborn pulsates that's
not going away for 2 consecutive days.
So far I am loving my routine!!
Let me know if there is more info you
guys want to know about my Tretinoin journey.
