Tret use for 1 month

Been using 0.025% tretinoin gel for around 1 month. I was told to use it once for 1 week, twice for another week, and so on until i’ve been using it every other day.

My face care consists of pyunkang yul gentle foaming cleanser every night (sometimes morning, but usually just wash my face with water), pyunkang yul acne cream, benzac 5% for spot treatment, and skin aqua super moisture uv gel for sunscreen.

Just a brief history, i’ve tried tret cream w/o prescription back in the pandemic, i was young and stupid and immediately used it every day, and it kinda ruined my face. My face is very oily, and i live in a hot and humid environment..

My face is relatively clear now, just some dark spots on my jaw and neck area.

I’ve noticed that i’m not experiencing any dryness/breakouts as compared to before. Is this due to the type of tretinoin i’m using or am i doing something wrong?
