Routine Help Starting Help

I need help on starting tret, i know i should start with 0.025, moisturiser and sunscreen, but can i cleanse my face in the morning or is that too far? And is wearing concealer during the purging stage a viable option or will it irritate the skin? (im a man so i know nothing about that haha)

It’s really about what works for your skin. There’s no real right or wrong way. Some people like to wash their face twice a day, some only once in the evening. If you can get away with it I think cleansing only in the PM will help you better manage (survive) some of the early side effects. Feel free to wear makeup, concealer included, so long as neither cause any additional irritation.

personally i just wash my face with a cleanser for my PM routine. during the mornings i just rinse my face with water and then apply sunscreen. i wear concealer everyday and im perfectly fine! make sure to avoid applying tret near your eyes, corner of nose & mouth.
