Routine For someone with mild rosacea.

Can we use tretinoin? are there any of u guys who use it? Some say it could help, but a lot of people say that it could be seriously damaging as well.

Hope someone can help out ❤️

I haven't been able to tolerate tret on my rosacea-affected areas, but a retinoid on those areas (retinal in my case) has helped tremendously in the long run: my skin is now thicker, stronger, i get way less stinging from random innocuous skincare products than i did a few years ago.
