It focuses on moisturising, SPF, barrier support and a simple routine around the 0.05% level. Dermaglow does not prescribe or sell prescription medicines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho is the 0.05% Advanced Protocol for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 0.05% level sits between Dermaglow's 0.025% Starter and 0.1% Intensive routines. Moving to a stronger prescription concentration should be based on professional advice and tolerance, not on the assumption that stronger is automatically better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e0.025% vs 0.05%: when should someone consider progressing?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick answer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Progression should not be rushed. If prescription tretinoin is appropriate for you, discuss concentration changes with your prescriber. Skin that is still persistently red, sore, peeling or stinging is not a good signal to increase intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompare with the \u003ca href=\"\/en-fr\/products\/starter-retinoid-skin-plan-routine-0-025-protocol\"\u003e0.025% Starter Protocol\u003c\/a\u003e or read about the \u003ca href=\"\/en-fr\/products\/intensive-retinoid-skin-plan-routine-0-1-protocol\"\u003e0.1% Intensive Protocol\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat should a 0.05% retinoid skincare routine include?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA gentle cleanser, suitable moisturiser and daily broad-spectrum SPF remain the foundation. Increasing retinoid concentration is not a reason to add more exfoliating products or create a more aggressive routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCan I use moisturiser with a 0.05% routine?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Barrier support remains important at every strength. Moisturiser can help manage dryness and make a routine easier to tolerate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCan I use salicylic acid, vitamin C, azelaic acid or benzoyl peroxide?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome people use these ingredients within a broader routine, but combining potentially irritating actives requires care. Separate products by time of day where appropriate and introduce changes one at a time. Follow professional advice when combining anything with prescription treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow do I know if my routine is too irritating?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePersistent burning, marked redness, swelling, painful cracking or irritation that does not settle are reasons to stop and seek advice.
