It explains how to structure cleansing, moisturising, SPF and compatible skincare around the 0.025% level. Dermaglow does not prescribe or sell prescription medicines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho is the 0.025% Starter Protocol for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the beginner-focused level in Dermaglow's three-stage retinoid education system. If a qualified prescriber has determined that prescription tretinoin is appropriate for you, the prescribed concentration and directions should take priority over general skincare information.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the difference between 0.025%, 0.05% and 0.1%?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe numbers describe different concentrations. Higher concentration can mean greater irritation potential and does not automatically mean better results. Dermaglow separates its routines so customers can understand the skincare support appropriate to the level they are researching.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompare the \u003cstrong\u003e0.025% Starter\u003c\/strong\u003e level with the \u003ca href=\"\/en-fr\/products\/advanced-retinoid-skin-plan-routine-0-05-protocol\"\u003e0.05% Advanced Protocol\u003c\/a\u003e and \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 skincare should I use with a 0.025% retinoid routine?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick answer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep it simple. A gentle cleanser, moisturiser and daily broad-spectrum SPF form the foundation of a beginner retinoid routine. Introducing several strong active ingredients at the same time can make irritation harder to manage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCan I use moisturiser with a retinoid?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Moisturiser supports the skin barrier and can help manage dryness. Some people use moisturiser before and\/or after their retinoid; follow the instructions supplied with any prescription treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDo I need SPF?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDaily broad-spectrum sun protection is an important part of a retinoid skincare routine and supports the goals for which retinoids are commonly used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCan I use salicylic acid, vitamin C or other actives?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen introducing a retinoid, avoid making the routine unnecessarily complicated. Exfoliating acids and other potentially irritating actives may increase dryness for some people. Vitamin C is often separated into the morning routine while a retinoid is used at night. For prescription-treatment combinations, seek advice from your pharmacist, GP, dermatologist or prescriber.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow should I introduce a retinoid routine?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduce changes gradually and monitor tolerance. More redness, peeling or stinging does not mean the routine is working better.
