Tretinoin users — how long until your purge began & how long until you started seeing results? Just started my journey and already getting nervous for the purge/thinking maybe I shouldn’t have started

I eased into it super slowly (started with Differin before Tret, only used Tret 1x per week, then 2x a week, etc.) and didn’t have a noticeable “purge”. Think I noticed results once I got to a frequency of 2-3x a week (so about a month in)

I’d say it took me about 6-7 months for noticeable & consistent results (including outside comments). My skin transformation has been great. My purge took awhile maybe ~3months? Maybe since It took me longer to get a routine down my skin liked. Regardless it’s worth it!

Interesting enough: I started using tretinoin some three weeks ago, approx. 5 times a week. I feel like my skin has been getting noticeably better - but I have not experienced any purge at all so far. 😆

maybe you won’t have one! 🤞🏼 i’ve read about that happening if you’ve used adapalene/other actives for awhile beforehand

Not a user, so I have to ask - what the hell is the purge??

because after that initial purge your skin will be glowing and clear :)

Varies a lott, but the results are worth it so don’t worry!!

I’m not sure if this happens to you, I’m constantly intimidated and feel judged by white men and women and/or people born in the US for having a strong foreign accent in the US.

How do I battle this situation? Would definitely like both perspectives.
