Hi everyone! I’ve recently started using tretinoin and noticed my skin is quite shiny during the first few weeks. I wanted to share my experience and see if anyone else has felt this way too.
From what I understand, tretinoin boosts cell turnover, which can lead to increased oil production as it clears out pores. For those of us with oily skin, this can be a bit tricky! I usually rely on lightweight moisturizers to manage shine, but it seems like my skin is adjusting right now.
I’m interested in how others are handling this shiny period. Have you found any effective products or routines that help balance things out? Any tips for reducing shine while still enjoying the benefits of tretinoin? Looking forward to your insights!
