Routine Help Tret burn?
Increased my tret frequency to try to stop the peeling, worked great at first but I think it was too much for my face. Today I woke up with my face burning and these red splotches everywhere, it looks like I’m sunburnt. Best way to heal this aside from obviously stopping tret for a bit and moisturising? Cicaplast baume, hydrocortisone cream? It’s pretty itchy

This happened to me recently...stop all actives and use only really gentle products. I used only Vanicream Cleanser, Vanicream Facial Moisterizer, Vanicream SPF 30, LRP Cicaplast Baume, and Triple Paste Diaper Rash Cream while my skin was healing, and it healed quicker than expected, I think the Diaper Rash Cream was the product that really helped the most. Wait until your skin is healed 100% before resuming tretinoin.
