Coming off tretinoin

Hey everyone!

I’ve been using a tretinoin cream prescribed by skin+me for a few months now, the results have been great but I’m moving home to Ireland and they don’t ship their products over there 😭 is there anything I need to know when I stop using it? Should I use a drugstore retinol or just carry on my normal skincare routine and adjust accordingly?

My normal routine is super basic, cleanser, hyalauronic acid, eye cream, moisturiser and spf

My skin was dry, dull and had some red patches before tretinoin so I definitely don’t want to go back to that!

Any help is greatly appreciated 🥹

If you’ve seen good results from tretinoin, I’d go for a HPR or a retinol serum: https://whatsinmyjar.com/search/retinoids/hpr?irritancy=2. Take a look at Dr.Sam’s nightly serum. I would skip hyaluronic acid serum. If your skin feels dry, see if you could use a bit thicker moisturizer at night ?(maybe a cica balm)
