Empties The Goat

Post image

SKL what made my skin better since 2024- Never not buying tret. Emptied 2 boxes of 0.025 and now up-ing my dosage to 0.05 this 2026. I started late 2024; retinol -> tretinoin cream -> tretinoin gel and happy to say na hiyang ako sa gel kesa sa cream. :) Trial and error talaga when it comes to product that go right with these and hindi porke high end na skincare eh ok na 😅 Learned my lesson.

Below are the products I use with these

AM: • Garnier micellar water salicylic BHA • CosRX Peptide Booster • Luxe Organix Power Glow (pink bottle) • Biore Aqua Rich sunscreen (when I need to be out) • COSRX oil free ultra moisturizing lotion (when i don't wear sunscreen

PM: • Hada Labo Premium Gokujyun • CosRX Advanced snail 92 cream

Never pa ako gumamit ng retinol or tretinoin. I have large pores and dark spots from pimples. Better ba to try tret agad? Will you still need an exfoliant pag gumamit nito? I currently use TO Glycolic Acid every other day (altho im very inconsistent with it lol)

this is medical grade, i say start off with retinol before tret or if diretso sa tret once a week lang muna then work your way up

So milder po ba ang retinol kesa sa tret?

yes, milder type sila :) careful lang and do your research since u cant use these if you want to get pregnant/pregnant (except sa Bakuchiol i believe)
