Yey!

I kinda miss Airol Lotion... I wish they brink it back.  Tretinoin works for me, but I get bored with the routine. So I cycle around different mediums. Cream, toner-type, cream ulet...

loving the effects of tretinoin - been using it for two months na. nabawasan na rin millia ko, medyo negligible na sila.

When do you switch to a higher concentration?

eischied_21, yes .025% is the lowest concentration and and .10& is the highest

you switch when you feel when the concentration you are using for months is not as good anymore. Usually it takes more than 6-8 months before you move up to a higher concentration. Better to consult the derma to be sure =)

There's tretinoin as low as 0.01% but it's not very common. Derm A has one though pero not in cream form. Toner form sya.

have some peeling pero konti lang naman after my 2nd application ng tret. ask ko lang if yung present/old whiteheads/milia mawawala with regular use of tret or it will just lessen the appearance of new whiteheads?
