Super practical guide, especially the emphasis on starting slow with 2-3 nights per week. The one thing I'd add is that buffering (applying moisturizer first, then tret) can be a gamechanger for people with reactive skin, though it might slightly reduce efficacy. I started that way and gradually weaned off the buffer as my skin adjusted, and I think that incremental approach saved me from a lot fo irritation.

Thank you, and you’re correct! The sandwich method (what you’re referring to as “buffering”) can be a great way to wean onto tret.
