When Alex finally decided to try tretinoin for stubborn acne and fine lines, he was nervous about horror stories of redness and peeling. Instead of rushing in, he took a careful approach. First, he visited a dermatologist for the right strength and instructions. Then, with tips from dermacarehub, he learned to start slowly—just a pea-sized amount two to three times a week, applied at night on completely dry skin. He paired it with a gentle cleanser and a rich moisturizer to keep irritation at bay. During the first few weeks, there was some mild dryness, but by being patient and consistent, Alex avoided severe irritation and gradually increased usage. After a few months, his skin was smoother, brighter, and far clearer than before. Starting tretinoin safely isn’t about rushing; it’s about patience, protection, and proper guidance.
