Thank you for sharing your acne/retinoid journey! I finally went to the derm last month and now have tretinoin 0.025% and clindamycin in my arsenal. I wish I had gone back to the derm years ago.
I don’t know if the 0.025 tret will be enough, but it’s also been fine - a little purging, but no irritation or anything crazy (coming from daily OTC adapalene). It will be nice to figure out what ultimately is “enough” and works (but the derm investment is $$$ ridiculous!!) to stop the constant adjust periods. BUT I also feel like the retinoids are magical and helpful and I’m glad they’re an option.
I am also very selfishly enjoying this week on antibiotics for a sinus infection. I don’t want sinus infections, but *gah* the antibiotics clear my skin, so.
Love these! I need to try the new Lip Plumes, STAT. I wanted to ask you about your retinoid—I developed type 2 rosacea when I hot perimenopause about 5-6 years ago. Anything I try to use on my face other than moisturizer causes those tiny red bumps with white heads. Not pimples, according to the derm, but a reaction to whatever I’m using. Do you have any problem with that? Love all of your content!!
the new make blushes are making me drool 🤤
They are so good!!

Using these same two Violette lippies daily. Best fall colors. ❤️🔥
Ooh, adding the Cyklar In-Shower Body Oil Balm to my wishlist immediately!!
reading this is dangerous- have added the Violette stain and Cyklar body oil balm to my wish list for when all the holiday sales start!
I’ll have to check out Amazon pharmacy! I didn’t realize you can get retinoid prescriptions thru them 🤯
