3 x a week pala sis! hahaha.. natawa naman ako lol

anyway , ok lang ba mag powerpeel while on tret? or stop muna several days then mag power peel?

[fortunecat8]

kwang sun, sis ako pina stop muna for 2-3 days bago ka payagan mag PP.

@cherness, I don't know pa of any tretinoin gel sold in the Ph.

Pero sa ibang country meron. Most ng nababasa ko is from western countries.

Unless siguro sold by derms, or formulated nila. Pero from drugstores, parang wala pa.

[abbey]

mga sis ok na ba yung 2 months na pagstop ng tret bago manganak? balak na kasi naman magbaby, dec o jan sana, nagstop ako nung october ng tret. safe naman na yun noh? thanks!

[-ainapatid-]

Hello! Newbie here. I asked my mom to buy me Derm-A diyan sa Manila and she got the .025. I plan to start using it after the holidays para naman di ako namamalat ng christmas and new year. Haha. My question is okay lang ba to use yung clarisonic (well mine's from olay kasi ang di ko pa kaya yun clarisonic hehe!) while using tret or masyado namg harsh sa skin yun brush? Second, okay lang ba to use dickinson's witch hazel toner and also josie maran argan oil as moisturizer at night? Yun kasi gamit ko e lagi e. Hope someone can help me thank you!:D

[username.taken]

how much for the stieva a .025%? eh yung retin a .025%? Future thanks sa mga sasagot.

[rochelle08]

^sis, stieva a .025% is P610 sa Mercury, not sure with Retin-A

[Milada]

Haay nabuhayan na ako mga sis. Hindi pala tretinoin ang sagot sa rashes ko, kaya pala balat lang siya ng balat pero hindi gumagaling. Ng'prescribe ng H cream si doc. Medyo bumbaba na yung rashes ko sa face na parang micropimples yipeee!!  

[rae]

-ainapatid-

You will find out the answers by the time you use it. Some people can't tolerate it enough to use anything else. SOme naman, keri ng skin nila. When you start, pakiramadaman mo yung skin mo

Do post your updates. PS. I use tretinoin and I also use olay's brush, pero mga once a week  lang.

[eireen]

Ako never nag peel.. Akala ko nga walang effect sakin. Pero napapansin ko na ang difference. 4 months na din yata ako. No peeling, no itchiness, basta i use it like ordinary cream.. Yung tama lang naman.

[cherness]

i still peel pero micropeeling lang and so far banat na face k poreless ganun basta ganda ng texture almost mag 3 months na din ako nakatret so far so good!!! once a day lang ako gumagamit plus clinda lang sa umaga tapos tret sa gabi ganun lang hehe

[VainDoll]

^ sis rae kamusta yun olay brush?

[rae]

^ sis rae kamusta yun olay brush?

I like it

Parang ang linis linis ng face. Minsan kasi, sa tretinoin, may onting flakes or onting dead skin na kelangan talaga ng physical exfoliation at times. Ok sya for that. But since I use tret, most frequent na yung twice a week. I just don't put pressure as I glide it. It spins kasi.

I use a cream cleanser with it. Yung cleanser kasi that comes with it, may exfoliating beads.

Parang overkill na may beads tapos gagamitan mo pa ng brush.

[pink_stardust]

is Retacnyl still available locally? I've been to quite a few drugstores, parang puzzled pa yung nasa pharmacy section whenever I ask for it.

[WickedWitchOfTheWest]

^^I asked din a derm about clarisonic, he said the most I could use it is twice a week the a regimen including tretinoin. It might overstimulate oil glands din daw kasi and make me more oily.

[rae]

^^ Watsons pharmacists/ pharmacy assistants are familiar with them. If they don't know about it, ask for tretinoin. They will look for it in the database and will tell you which brands they carry.

pano ba malalaman if purging lang yung acne?

i've been using retin a before pero hindi consistent kung kailan ko lang maalala. now im using it every night and napansin ko tinutubuan ako ng black heads white heads na skin tione ko naman.


im bothered. iniisip ko pwede din naman due sa stress and all.

anyone experienced the same while using retun a?

any advice?

how long do i wait till i know this is purging or not?

[momentum]

mga sis I need your help, especially those na sanay na mag tret 

I'm 29yo and thinking of trying this na. I don't have any pimples anymore, just occasional bumps that disappears naman on it's own. meron akong mga open pores (acne scars) due to teenage acne. sana ma treat ito ng Tret. Also mga konting fine lines. Advisable rin ba ito sa under eye area to treat lines there?

Question lang sa mga first time, ano kayang percentage ang dapat for me? 0.025% ba? nag-inquire narin ako sa Mercury kahapon sa price, may kamahalan pala ito hehe although I think naman na kokonti lang ilalagay  each time so it should last a long time.

sana may makasagot. thank you!
