TRETINOIN THREAD 5

[ldevera]

Skin colored sila sa forehead parang milia pero bigger ..tas yung sa cheeks na tag isa, and sa chin mga red bumps na painful now lang ako nagkaron ganito hehe..pero aside from that wala naman peeling or redness ako nararamdaman???

[WickedWitchOfTheWest]

^naku stop tret na muna, that's an allergic reaction. Not sure if sa tret per se or baka sa formula lang. Saka ka na magreconsider, when your skin has cleared up.

[ldevera]

Okay sis uhu ganito pala feeling pag madami pimple masakit sa face!

[WickedWitchOfTheWest]

^if you can also, visit a derma para mas madali mareverse ang reaction mo to tret. Baka next time better din to consult a derma when you opt to start tret again, so they can formulate a better regimen suited to your skin type.

what glyco use mo sis? And pano mo ginagamit?

Sis, glycolic cream 20% from my chemist.

[KrabbyPatty!]

^may nabibili kayang ganyan otc? what do you think sis? hehe

[cosmochick]

I only use Retin A once a week at night then I peel na the next day. I would have used it every night if not for the peeling. Ang pangit kasi if nagbabalat but one day lang naman. After that, back to smooth skin na.

[sales_lady]

^^ i don't know sis, i haven't checked.

[KrabbyPatty!]

^sis saan yung chemist mo? i want a 20% glycolic cream kasi.

[lady_liberty]

sis, mag obagi ka. Proven effective and kikinis at magcclear face mo. Kahit mahal pagipunan mo na lang. para sayo naman yun eh di ba :-)

thanks sis, mag-research ako tungkol sa obagi 

[vainmom]

mga sis, kapag tretinoin toner ba my purging din ? kasi sabi sa kin ng isa skin clinic dito sa min it will only dry up yung mga pimps. true po ba?

[toffeenut]

hello! i just like to ask if Stieva-A lang ba ang may .1% tret concentration?

I was suppose to buy Stieva-A 0.05% just to try it out (Retacnyl 0.05% user here) but wala sa Watsons na pinuntahan ko. Pati stieva 0.05% wala din. The only options there were Retin-A, Stieva 0.025% and 0.1%.

Initially, Stieva-A 0.025% nalang dapat kukunin ko since maintenance nalang naman. Kaso bigla nagbago isip ko. I ended up with .1% and now too damn scared to try it out

Any users ng .1% concentration? Do you use it on a daily basis? Ako kasi i use tret daily pero .05% lang concentration. Help!

[Antigone]

Nakalimutan ko na magtret for so many weeks na!

[reese**]

hello mga sis, ive been using tret (TR Complex .1%) together with my Obagi blender fx pero walang peeling whatsoever. its been a week, alternate nights lang and 1/4 combined na sila ng blender. parang nagka blackheads pa ako (though yan naman talaga major issue ko at hindi pimples) :-(


naisip ko baka dahil konti lang at alternate pa kasi sabi ng derma ko i dont need much.

[kwang sun]

it's difficult to use tretinoin when work's on graveyard shift ahaha

[graxa]

how young should one start using tret?

[juana_antonia]

sis reese, I think it's the amount nga tas alternate pa. 

[Heavenly_Bliss]

it's difficult to use tretinoin when work's on graveyard shift ahaha

sis, i feel for you.. ginagawa ko na lang every other day or every after 2 days pag graveyard shift. sobrang nipis lang nilalagay ko tas pinapatungan ko ng powder na may spf.

[Antigone]

^Sis, pag graveyard shift, baliktarin nyo lang yung lagay nyo ng tret. Sa umaga niyo ilagay pagtulog niyo Tas wag na mag extra ilaw.

Kasi kung sa work din ilalagay pag gabi, di ba harsh din mga ilaw sa office?

[icegurl]

I've been using Retin-A since July and so far so good. Makinis na face ko compared when I was under many different meds from my previous dermas.

I'm using it every night since then, should I taper it down to every other night? Baka kasi bumalik ang pimples, kaya I'm having second thoughts. Thank you!
