How do you deal with flaky skin while on tretinoin? I already do the sandwich method and slug nightly nothing helps

sometimes i give my skin a break from tret for a day or two. especially when my skin is very dry or when it burns when i apply other skincare products. i hope this helps!

what percentage is it? are you using the cream or gel? I find the gel more drying. also have u tried plant squalane? might just be ur skin purging too, it can take a bit to adjust to prescription skin care. sorry if this is a lot !!

Try using snail mucin to slug beforehand and use a hyaluronic acid.
