I Used Tretinoin With ZERO Irritation (Here’s How)

I’ve been using tretinoin for over 3 years, but I’ve never experienced irritation with it - no peeling, no burning, nothing. In this video, I’m breaking down exactly how I personally use tretinoin in a way that keeps my skin calm, including buffering, the sandwich method, and how I avoid triggering unnecessary irritation. These are the small but consistent things that have made tretinoin very tolerable for me long-term. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00: Intro - No irritation on tretinoin?! 00:14: Tip 1 - Buffering (sandwich method) 01:13: Tip 2 - Avoiding irritation triggers 01:57: Tip 3 - How often I would use tretinoin at the start 02:25: Skin history (prescribed Epiduo + adapalene experience before tretinoin) 03:10: Important timeline (results took months) 03:27: Final thoughts + realistic expectations 🧴 PRODUCTS / ACTIVES MENTIONED Tretinoin 0.05% Epiduo (adapalene + benzoyl peroxide) Moisturisers used for buffering - Rhode Barrier Butter + Rhode Glazing Milk 💬 NOTES Everyone’s skin is different - what worked for me might not be the same for you, so go slowly and listen to your skin. I also mention that I had previously used Epiduo (adapalene + benzoyl peroxide), a prescription treatment I was on for my acne for around 3 years before starting tretinoin. I also talk about how being familiar with retinoids beforehand might make the experience feel easier for some people, but it definitely doesn’t guarantee how your skin will react. If you wanted to do something similar, some people consider easing in with an over-the-counter retinol first - but this isn’t necessary, and everyone’s skin will respond differently. 🔍 HASHTAGS #tretinoin #skincare #acnejourney #acneskincare #retinoids #skincaretips #acnetreatment #glassskin #skincareforacne #rhodeskin
