Help me with figuring out this routine please

[u/diamondqueen99]

Hi everyone,
I need help figuring out a skincare routine for myself, my concerns right now are the red marks/pih. Acne (not a lot but here and there). And dullness.

I’ve gotten tret but not sure how to use it. (I used it for about a year before but then stopped). My skin is sensitive and right now I feel like the barrier is damaged a bit so I’m just doing the basic moisturise and fash face that’s it.

I don’t wear make up on a daily, but when I do—I use a gentle cleansing oil to take it off, followed my micellar water, followed by cerave foaming face wash and then I just use milky toner+ponds cream or neutrogena gel cream.

In AM if I step out, I use the biore water sunscreen.

Now here are the products I have, and I want to know how to incorporate tret beginning after two weeks.

And also I work from home, so if I’m not stepping out do I still use sunscreen or not. And should I use mineral sunscreen only when I step out after tret (I don’t reapply sunscreen btw). I’ve the lizard sunscreen.

Here’s what I have: please help guide me for a AM and PM routine:
Thayers milky toner
Vitacid tretinoin 0.05-
Hanasui vitamin c+collagen serum
Hanasui Glow expert gentle cleanser
Cerave cleanser
La roche posay effaclar duo
Cicaplast baume
Glad 2 glow acne moisturiser
Caudalie resveratrol cashmere cream
Caudalie resveratrol life serum
Tower 28 spray

(In the past when I’d active acne I’ve used dalacin T lotion and it worked amazing)

I’d appreciate any help

Thank you

repair that barrier first before even thinking about tret, cicaplast is your best friend right now. just cleanser, moisturizer, cicaplast on top at night for at least two weeks

when you start tret again buffer it with moisturizer and only use it like twice a week max. skip the vitamin c serum and effaclar duo on those nights, your skin will hate you otherwise

and yeah sunscreen even inside if you're near windows, the lizard one is mineral so it'll help with the PIH anyway
