[Routine Help] hello everyone! I just got prescribed tretinoin 0.025%. I started my skincare journey in 2024 and have religiously made sure to take my makeup off and do the basics like cleanser or double cleanse, toner, moisturizer, etc.

But my face still kept breaking out. Worse when during that time of month but even so… still when that factor did not come into play. I break out particularly and routines on my cheeks, chin, and upper neck. I know Tret has amazing success stories but I’ve also seen some people say it really dries your skin out. I have the Clinique 100Hour hydrator as well as the Estée Lauder night bounce cream - which of these would be best? Is there anything I need to know further? Even with appropriate moisturizer will I still have any dryness? When did the purging get better for you?
