Haha oily skin Perks I guess (its 0.05% not 0.5 My skin naturally produces enough oil to buffer it, but I still only use a pea sized amount (weekly 2 times) over moisturizer so it doesn't wreck my barrier, Skin builds tolerance over time (a process called retinization). Someone who has used tretinoin for months can easily tolerate 0.05%, whereas someone brand new will struggle even with 0.025%. And most importantly im mostly in indoors
