tretinoin gel
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Tretinoin gel or adapalene will remove them since they are retinoids but it will take months.
Cons
- I’ve been using Tretinoin consistently for well over a year at this point and still get these whiteheads/pustules? They are right at the surface, I can literally scrape them off (I usually don’t ofc), and they appear overnight/quite sudd...
- The cream broke me out and the gel actually helped a lot. But the gel was WAYYY more harsh on my skin so I honestly would recommend going down to 0.025 if you can.
- How long and often have you been using tretnoin? Your skin could be irritated from the tret and not necessarily the vanicream.
- tretinoin cream vs gel makes a HUGE difference for oily/acne-prone skin

I’ve been using Tretinoin consistently for well over a year at this point and still get these whiteheads/pustules? They are right at the surface, I can literally scrape them off (I usually don’t ofc), and they appear overnight/quite suddenly. I believe they may be due to irritation from Tretinoin.
The cream broke me out and the gel actually helped a lot. But the gel was WAYYY more harsh on my skin so I honestly would recommend going down to 0.025 if you can.
