Some firsts you never forget: kisses, jobs, and tretinoin.
Ingrid Frahm/Allure
My experience came along at age 25 when I was desperate to banishmy adult-onset acne.
Although the results six weeks later were remarkable, I swore off tretinoin for four years due to inflammation.
However,Agency Future Formula with Tretinoinreunited me with the retinol about eight months ago.
Stress andconstant mask-wearingbrought my breakouts back with a vengeance and nothing seemedto be helping.
I needed to call in the big guns.
Venturing out into the world to see a dermatologist for a tretinoin prescription terrified me.
Agency provides you with a dermatologist appointment on your own time without leaving your couch or having face-to-face interaction.
Everything is easy to navigate while being incredibly inclusive, respectful, and private.
You’ll send in photos of your skin for your provider to review too.
you could even message them whenever you want with any questions or concerns.
Every month, the percentage of each may change and ingredients may be added and subtracted.
Agency basically provides you with an all-in-one serum that changes as your skin improves.
It’s like having a dermatologistandcosmetic chemist at your fingertips, which is my dream come true.
And last but not least,niacinamide, a.k.a.
vitamin B3, makes the ingredient list with a 4 percent concentration.
Plus, I love that it doesn’t have the overwhelming, chemical smell that retinol tends to have.
I simply layer a moisturizer on top and I’m free to get my beauty sleep.
Every month, I look forward to the arrival of my new bottle of Future Formula.
