What to avoid because your Skin Deserves Better

One of the biggest mistakes people make when introducing Tretinoin is trying to maintain a complex, multi-active routine at the same time. Here's what to put on pause while your skin adjusts:

• ❌ AHAs and BHAs (glycolic acid, salicylic acid) — on the same night as tretinoin
• ❌ Vitamin C serums — wait for nightly use; use in the morning instead
• ❌ Benzoyl peroxide — can deactivate tretinoin when used together
• ❌ Physical or chemical exfoliants — let the tretinoin do the exfoliating
• ❌ Alcohol-based toners — too drying when combined with retinoids

Keep your routine clean and simple while you adjust. Cleanser → Moisturizer → Tretinoin → Moisturizer. That's it.
