This \u201areview\u2019 is ONLY about my experiences with the drug as a well-aging retinoid. I also wanted to feel how my patients feel. This should not be the cause of any discontinuations of treatment. It\u2019s purely educational, not a drug endorsement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Trifarotene is an effective acne treatment, used twice weekly. It starts working at the 2-3 weeks\u2019 mark, but the full potential is reached after somewhere about a year of use. It normalises keratinisation and sebum secretion, as well as acts as a well-aging agent (much like every retinoid). Trifarotene is also registered in body acne – its molecule is engineered to be metabolised quickly, and it\u2019s safe to apply over larger surface areas. It can also be used in scar\/stretch mark treatment (I combine it with in office treatments in my patients), but here the dosage is different and should be discussed with your doctor. A bottle is enough for a few months – don\u2019t use anything more than a pea-sized amount!<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve been using this drug for well-aging, and it\u2019s quite effective, giving a tightened appearance to the skin. It is quite drying and can cause redness, but it isn\u2019t very irritating per se. Aaaaand there\u2019s the flaking. I\u2019ve had my skin peel the entire time I\u2019ve been using it, and that makes me a bit discouraged from using it as a well-aging treatment – why age well when you\u2019re looking like a lizard? There are gentler options. I\u2019d still go for tretinoin or adapalene out of the prescription options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In medical indications, however, it\u2019s one of my favourite medications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Disclosure:<\/strong> I\u2019ve collaborated with Galderma (makers of Aklief, the trifarotene-containing drug) on a paid post before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Trifarotene – a prescription drug that made my skin flake for a couple months.
