Say Goodbye to Blackheads: The Power of Retinoids

Blackheads can be stubborn, but with the right skincare routine, you can achieve clearer, smoother skin. Betarretín 0.025% (Tretinoin) and A313 (Retinol Palmitate) are two powerful retinoid creams that help unclog pores and improve skin texture. Here’s how to use them effectively:

Step-by-Step Routine…

1. Cleanse Your Skin

• Use a gentle, non-stripping cleanser to remove dirt and oil. Avoid harsh scrubs that can irritate your skin.

2. Start with Betarretín 0.025% (Tretinoin) – Nighttime Use

• Tretinoin is a potent retinoid that speeds up cell turnover, preventing clogged pores.

• Apply a pea-sized amount to dry skin 2-3 times a week to start, gradually increasing frequency as tolerated.

• Always apply a moisturizer afterward to prevent excessive dryness.

Use A313 as a Buffer (Alternate Nights or Mixing Method)

• A313 contains Retinol Palmitate, a gentler derivative of Vitamin A, which helps maintain skin renewal without excessive irritation.

• You can use it on alternate nights when not using Tretinoin or mix a small amount with your moisturizer for a milder effect.

3. Hydrate & Repair

• Since retinoids can be drying, focus on hydration. Use ceramide-based or hyaluronic acid-rich moisturizers to support the skin barrier.

4. Daily Sunscreen is a MUST

• Retinoids make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every morning to prevent irritation and sun damage.

Pro Tips for Success

Be patient – Blackheads won’t disappear overnight, but with consistent use, you’ll see smoother, clearer skin in 6-8 weeks.

Avoid over-exfoliating – Using scrubs or chemical exfoliants like AHAs/BHAs alongside retinoids can lead to irritation.

Listen to your skin – If you experience excessive dryness or peeling, reduce application frequency and increase hydration.

By incorporating Betarretín 0.025% and A313 into your skincare routine, you’ll effectively clear clogged pores and keep blackheads at bay!
