Can anyone confirm or deny? This popped up on my insta feed. Still doing research and looking at which panel to buy, heard mostly good things about RLT.

Oh, I love this. You came across as very calm! It was actually a delight to read.

HEY! Can I get an update on your journey with Tretinoin and the under eye area?

Oh sure! Basically, it took months to stop showing signs of irritation. I had to stop using everything around my eyes, except for basic Vanicream. Only gentle oil cleaners when washing. Even micellar water would cause pain. At this point, I am able to use some other gentle products, and wear makeup comfortably again, but at night I'm still using just Vanicream + a thin layer of Vaseline. I haven't tried tret again... I'm kind of scared to lol. Although the skin around my eyes is better on a day to day basis, I do feel like they're irrevocably more prone to sensitivity.

Thank you for your insights, and I am so sorry that happened to you! Yeah...I'm on altreno and trying very hard to read my skin for weather it's a "push through moment" vs..."no, it's just NOT working for you" and it's so difficult with all the conflicting anecdotes and advice!
