I have been on tretinoin for a while, and now that I have increased the % at the recommendation of my derm I am flakey as hell. I am looking for a GENTLE physical exfoliant, preferably something that isn't a face wash type thing since my skin hates everything and breaks out even if the water changes ๐Ÿ˜’

I'm using Cetaphil as well, I used to love Cerave but it makes my face burn now using tret.

I was finding Auquafor on occasion was really nice, though its heavier/greasy so I wouldn't wear it out of the house. Also it contains lanolin which doesn't agree with some people. There's the Cerave healing ointment as well, which is not like their moisturizer, but like Auquafor without the lanolin. I have both and use both but very occasionally as I'm always concerned they might break me out but. They're really great for boosting moisture though.
