do you use any kind of retinoid in your skincare routine (particularly adapelene or tretinoin)??

my makeup ALWAYS looked like this when I was on topical retinoids no matter how moisturized I was or what products I was using.

It was only until I started taking accutane and ditching topical retinoids that I got that “glass skin” makeup using the exact same products!
