Here’s today’s case:

r/tretinoin

HELP! Do I stop using tret a few days before my wedding?

Hi all!!

My wedding is in 25 days. I’ve been on tretinoin for about 4 years and I absolutely love it. However, whenever I wear makeup, it tends to separate around my chin as the day goes on. Should I stop using tret a few days before the wedding so this doesn’t happen? I currently skin cycle, so I have a day or two per week where I use dermalogica microfoliant to physically exfoliate the dead skin. Should I just take a break from Tret for a few days and do the physical exfoliation the morning of? Any input is so appreciated!!
