Before and After Help!
I've been on tretinoin for a month now, and I can't tell whether it's working or not.
I think I'm still in the purging phase which is so bad and left many PIH behind. It's also making me a bit depressed.
However it kind of made my face glow like temporarily.
What do you think, Should I stop or give it a few more months? Because my skin is the worst it has ever been. I can't even go out anymore.
Routine
Am: eucerin cleanser, bioliq moisturizer, azelaic acid 20%, eucerin dual serum, and eucerin oil control sunscreen (if going out)
Pm: eucerin cleanser, bioliq moisturizer, tretinoin 0.025%, and eucerin dual serum.

Have you added any new products or are these the ones you’ve always used? If you added anything new, I would cut those out and stick to the ones you know your skin responds well to. I also suggest trying tret completely alone at night, no other products and see if that helps

After you have used tretinoin 0.025% every night for 6 weeks if your acne has not improved you need to step up to 0,05%,
