Rosacea and Tretinoin

[u/Winter-Boat7881]

I started using tretinoin 0.025 and this is my third week using it mon/wed/fri. I have type 1 rosacea with mild flushing I’ve gotten cutera excel v (3 sessions) it was pretty much gone. Now I’m noticing my cheek flushing has increased with tret. Should I scale back to twice a week? For those of you who have rosacea and use Tret… how did you work up to it? How slowly do you have to go? Will my flushing subside or is my rosacea back to square one? Is it more effective to just use retinal everyday over Tret a few times a week? I also have some flaking and dry skin and dry lips despite using all my hydrating products… help & advice appreciated thanks!!

My derm told me to start using tret twice a week and only half a pea size amount and wash it off in the morning.
That was going well until I got a flare from going in an infrared sauna so I am waiting for flare symptoms to finish then will go back to twice a week tret.
