How are you preparing / “brewing” the tretinoin?
I am still fine, tuning my recipe. I am making a .25 mg solution.
Right now I have two recipes
Propylen Glycol (PG) and tretinoin
PG, 90% isopropyl alcohol, oleic acid, isopropyl myristateand tretinoin.
I am actually thinking about adding beeswax or xantham gum to both recipes to thicken it up to see how it works. Right now it is a solution and I'm looking more for a gel or cream.
both recipes are strong and need to be shaken well before use. Unfortunately, it can separate quickly and sometimes I think I'm getting a stronger solution than I should. Thus, I've gotten some extra peeling that I was not expecting, but I can tell you, my acne has gone down quite drastically, and my skin looks a whole lot better..
Lesson learned. Make sure you wash your hands well after applying. when I touch my junk, I did not realize that I had some still on my hands and I've definitely chemically exfoliated my balls and shaft. This is actually had pros and cons.
The pro: it's more sensitive and has a little bit extra pleasure
The con: it's more sensitive in my underwear is very noticeable.
It took about a week before my skin got back to its normal condition in that area.
I'm actually going to start a thread on this later on this week to provide insight, and maybe get some suggestions.
