TRETINOIN THREAD 5

[eireen]

Hala, bakit ako.. walang purging, walang peeling, wala as in wala. Parang normal cream or ointment lang sa aking ang tretinoin. Hindi din ako namumula. gabi gabi ko ginagamit for a month na. Di ko din pansin kung me pagbabago. May nakakapa lang akong mga whiteheads pag gising sa umaga. di din aman ako yung tipong super oily. partner ko sa kanya ay ponds detox. Gusto ko mag peel pero wala. Pero feeling ko maaliwalas sa mukha. Try ko mag lagay ng rdl stieva ang gamit  ko

^^ Hello Jeloeight, I didn't experience significant change in pore size and oiliness in almost 3 years of using tretinoin.

[jeloeight]

^hi sis! Salamat sa pag reply.sad naman :-( what brand are you using? What benefits did you get naman from using tret?

[bianx]

@ sis rae: /@ sis wicked:  may rest period din ba sa pag gamit ng tret?

[WickedWitchOfTheWest]

^the effect subsides when you stop using so no rest periods. But stop use if trying to conceive / pregnant and/ or lactating.

Most you can do is minimize usage to every 2-3 nights.

[bianx]

^ thank you so much!

[eyes828]

Okay lang ba magpafacial pricking while using tretinoin?

[abbey]

hayy naku may katangahan akong ginawa, almost 2 months na ko na nagttret, tas 2 days ago nagwax ako ng upper lip waaah! namula tuloy nguso ko  . nawala sa loob ko na sensitive pala ang skin pag nagttret.

sis gang kelan pa ang purging pag tret? naglalabasan pimps ko lalo sa mouth area kainis, baka isipin nila my herpes ako huhu. tapos namumula pa nguso ko dahil sa wax. pambihira

[kwang sun]

nakakainis antagal lang matanggal ng cystic acne kahit naka tret na =/

[inluvewithmikewesten]

Matagal talaga sis kasi di naman for spot treatment ang tret.

Kung malaking cystic pimple yan pa inject mo na lang para mabilis mawala.

has anyone here tried using hydroquinone+tret solution and hyrdoq+tret cream from BCP? i will start using it tomorrow night, i want to know if ok siya. seems like steiva ang most popular brand to use kaso tret lang talaga siya, right?

by the way, you might find this reading material helpful Tretinoin (Retin-A)

I have been using Tret since I was in high school as I used to imitate what my mom does for her kikay regimen. The results of Tret aren't drastic, I would say. I didn't use it religiously before and I have done some blunders, too, like not always wearing sunscreen when I was younger (for lack of knowledge and katamaran). Overall, I would say Tret has done great on my skin.  My facial skin is not super makinis as I still breakout minimally (1 or 2 pimples on the chin) every now and then, especially before my period arrives. I am now in my mid 30's but people still mistake me as 20-ish, modesty aside. My pores are fine and the only blemishes on my face are pimple marks I get from occasional breakouts. I recommend young women especially in their early 20's to start on Tret regimen early para hindi kung kelan tumanda ang edad ninyo tsaka palang kayo maghahabol to make your face look young. As the saying goes... prevention is better than cure.

Even Dra Vicky Belo, in one of her interviews on Salamat Dok, swears by Tret's effectiveness.

[abbey]

paano nga pala kung balak magconceive, kelangan ba stop agad?

[WickedWitchOfTheWest]

^yes. The product is absorbed into your blood stream, so better to be safe than sorry. You can still use AHAs/Glycolic Acid or Mandelic Acid as maintenance while TTC or pregnant.

[girlalou]

Im using tretinoin 0.05 and aha 10 lotion, so far so good

[ilovejdy]

^sis anong brand ng tret mo? And what aha lotion yung sinabay mo?

[girlalou]

Sis retin a from mercury. Actually I started sa o.o25 from my derma ( she gave me that coz mag papa fraxel ako soon,
So while waiting for my budget daw its better to use tret para hindi na dumami). Since immune na ako sa 0.025 , I bought 0.05
Okay naman feedback ng friends ko , ng iimprove daw ang skin ko. Aha 10 smoothening lotion, it came from my derma too.

Sis try to search retin a and aha lotion review sa make up alley. Btw, tom na [textspeak!] fraxel ko kaya I stopped tretinoin 2 days ago.
If you are planning to use aha or tret make sure to use sunscreen.

[cherness]

Every other day ang retinoic acid ko .05 from mu derma and yet nagbabalat padin face ko kaloka as in balat kung balat pero no pimples balat lang yalaga lol.

Hello mga sis pasali

May rashes ako before as in rashes na micropimples all over my cheeks. pero skin colored siya so back to tretinoin naman ako. My first 2weeks masakit talaga siya, mahapdi, and nagppeel. Pero keribels lang, bawat lagay ko tumatapat agad ako sa aircon. Lalo siya mahapdi pag sasabon ako ng glycolic.

For my 3rd week, medyo ng ppeel off na siya. Nawawala na yung hapdi. And, kuminis at pumuti na yung face ko although, may natitira pang mga namamalat

Now, hihintay ko na lang na mawala as in lahat ng natitirang lumang balat.
