I'm on my 6th day of tret, Stieva 0.1% bought it at Gaisano Drugstore for P564. I put moisturizer first before applying tret, very mild sting lang and so far no purging.Pero yesterday afternoon I forgot to rinse my face immediately after using tomato soap on my face, biglang naging itchy sa bandang jawline ko then later nakapa ko  nagkapantal na. Nawala naman before evening so i used tret last night when i woke up this morning namumula ulit at makati until now di pa rin nawawala. Wala naman akong history of allergies. i'm not sure if sa soap so stop muna for now i'll resume na lang kapag nawala na yung bumps and itchiness.

^ baka sa soap yan sis. Napasobra babad. Use a milder cleanser na lang muna and moisturize

Di pa ako nakabili ng stieva a. Tom na lang sooo excited!

[vainmom]

moisturizer ba muna before tret o better tret muna then moisturizer?

[VainDoll]

Moisturizer wait for 15-20 minutes until absorbed na then your tret.

Mas mahal dito sa amin stieva a. 575 yun 0.1% (QC based)

[Kristalle]

Retin A cream is 0.25% to 0.50% and is more expensive. Stieva A is just 0.1%, ugh, and I heard na yang 500+ is the biggest na ng Stieva-A. As to the stieva a gel, I prefer cream over gel cause gel has alcohol. I suggest na mag Retin-A na lang kayo. Konti na lang naman, magtitipid pa ba? Google it. Most is of the opinion that Retin A has the better formulation and consistency, made in the US. Anyway, dun sa susubok, wag nyong pakyawin at laging out of stock.

Anyone who uses a dermaroller here? Do you use Tretinoin after using the dermaroller?

[dianeC]

sino-sino po pwede gumamit ng tretinoin? thanks po...

[VainDoll]

^^ Ang alam ko 0.1% yun highest concentration ata sis walang 0.25% at 0.5%. If you are pertaining to 0.025% and 0.05% meron din Stieva A. Under the GlaxoSmithKline ang Stieva A so I guess okay naman din yun

Anyway, ano color ng 0.1% stieva a cream? First time ko mag tret na commercially available sa drugstores eh.

[momentum]

torn parin between Stieva A and Retin A..waaaaaa!

[andreil_19]

^^ yellow-green.

i started using tret again, so wait na lang ako after maubos ang tube for the result.

[sumthinblu]

Just bought Stieva a yesterday since ubos na yung big tube ko na Retin-a. It's 539 lang pala. Hope mahiyang din ako dito.

[littlekinselle]

I have oily skin. pls tell me kung san pwede bumili ng tret gel type.  TIA 

[VainDoll]

^ sa derma sis yun mga tret na gel type.

[Jhevz]

question pa po..ano magandang facial cleanser at moisturizer ang magandang i-partner sa tret. for oily skin? thanks po

[Muffin28]

Bought retin-a nung Wednesday lang 230, I've been to 2 mercury drug store wala available buti nalang yung malapit sa Amin meron. pag dating ko ng hahay nag wash ako using defensil na soap it's for acne bought at 35 pesos. Tapos kinaumagahan I wash my face with teranex nung Thursday then apply retin-a. Tapos kanina di na tinatamad e, napansin ko lang yung ibang "mini" pimples ko nagdry.

[Jhevz]

Hello po! ask ko lang po sa mga mejo matagal na gumagamit ng tret., how long po yung worst stage? yung naglabasan talaga mga pimples nyo? Im using po Retin-A .05 and on my 6th day of using it. yun nga napansin ko inilalabas nya at nahinog pimples ko.

Yeah, I stand corrected. You're right about the .025 etc.. I have only used Retin-A eversince e. It was actually prescribed to me sa Dermclinic a very long time ago, nung teenager pa lang ako to treat my pimples and it worked then I saw ads about it featuring Margie Moran to prevent wrinkles and di ko na tinigil ang use ng Retin-A and made it my "moisturizer" and somehow it worked and still very much works for me. This iis actually my beauty secret for the longest time. I am just sharing such here kasi madami na din akong nababasa dito sa GT using a ton of useless beauty products. Sayang ang pera not to mentio baka toxic pa. With regards to Stieva, yes I think okay naman sya, same naman siguro lahat ng Tretinoin. Nahiyang lang ako sa Retin-A.

[vainmom]

[Jhevz]

kahit ba under eye ok lagyan ng tret?

hello po. may nabasa akong review na sabi ok lang daw lagyan under eye. I tried po mga twice ko nilagyan kaso i stopped kasi nag dry sya tapos ang hapdi kapag nagpapawis ako. depends din po siguro sa skin.
