You’re not doomed. You’re in a temporary ugly phase. Every single person with good skin using tretinoin went through this. Every. Single. One. It’s a rite of passage.
Track your progress with weekly photos. You’ll see the purge peak, then plateau, then fall like a rock. That visual proof will keep you from throwing your tube of tretinoin out the window.
And one last thing: mañana is not your friend. The sooner you start purging, the sooner it ends. So slather it on tonight. Your future glowing face will thank your pre-purge self. Now go moisturize, you glorious mess.
