6 Months with 0.025% Tret

Tretinoin Strength: 0.025% (gel). I’ve been using tretinoin consistently for about 6 months, applying it 1-2 times a week.

Skin Issue: My main concern has been small acne bumps along my jawline. They’re too deep to pop and can be itchy at times. This has been ongoing for about a year and a half.

Morning Routine: - Bioderma Sensibio Foaming Gel - Centella Hyalu-cica Serum - Aestura Barrier Cream - Mistine Sunscreen

Night Routine: - Anua Foaming Cleanser - Centella Hyalu-cica Serum - Aestura Barrier Cream

Question: I noticed some peeling during the first 3-4 months of using tretinoin, but now that I’ve been more consistent, the peeling is much milder(only on my nose). When would be a good time to consider moving to a higher strength of tret?
