I recently got a chemical burn from my tret cream and a hike that ended up not wearing sunscreen during a gloomy day. Yes, quite possibly my most shameful moment in my whole lifetime! Treated it with aloe vera and vaseline petroleum jelly for 3 consecutive nights. My skin is now back to normal.

So here’s the thing, I must only use sunscreen during the daytime because everything else makes me break out. So I rely heavily during the night for hydration and moisture. The thing is I use tretinoin 0.1% cream at night 3 times a week. But I don’t really know when to put it on my face. My night routine is basically wash-toner-cream-vaseline. So where do I exactly put my tret? The cream and vaseline is a recent addition since I found out my skin liked the aloe vera + vaseline combo. I stopped aloe vera because it gave me pustules after 3 days.
