Dermatologist and tretinoin


If it's available a dermatologist is essentially a hardmaxx for your skin. If you can get a dermatologist or source it otherwise, ask about tretinoin. Tret is way safer than Accutane but there is an irritation phase, and your skin will probably dry out/get irritated for the first few weeks before completely clearing up.


My skincare routine:


AM:


  • Step in shower and wet face
  • Clean hands with soap
  • Cleanse face for 20 seconds, let it sit for 10 seconds
  • Wash out cleanser under showerhead
  • Step out of the shower and pat-dry face with paper towels
  • With dry hands and dry face, apply tinted spf50 on every area that gets exposed to sun
  • Don't touch face for the rest of the da
  • PM:
  • Put hairband on to keep hair out of face
    • Clean hands with soap and warm water and let them air dry, not touching anything else
    • With dry hands and a dry face, apply a quarter sized amount of cleanser and rub in for 20 seconds, spreading evenly and gently (this gets rid of the layer of sunscreen)
    • Run a washcloth under warm water and ring it dry (wet but not dripping)
    • Rub cleanser off face with washcloth for 10-15 seconds evenly and gently
    • With wet hands and a wet face, apply a quarter sized amount of cleanser and rub in for 20 seconds evenly and gently (this is what cleanses your pores)
    • Run a separate washcloth under warm water and ring it dry (wet but not dripping)
    • Rub cleanser off for 15 seconds evenly and gently (let face air dry for 1-2 mins after)
    • Apply pea sized amount of moisturizer to face evenly and gently (let face air dry for 5 min)
    • Apply a pea sized amount of topical tretinoin evenly and gently to every part of face
    • (I use 0.05% tretinoin on my scarring)
