How long can you expect to struggle with peeling whilst on Tretinoin?

Mariexx
Hello! I have used Tretinoin 0,05% for the past 2 months to improve texture, glow and prevent lines. I have used it every night since I started as my skin is not sensitive and I’m too impatient to start slowly. The first month I peeled to an extreme extent, whilst now you can only see the peel when I apply makeup. Now, when my skin is bare, it’s become so glowy and I receive lots of compliments. But makeup still looks so-so, as I’m apparently still dried out. How long will this last? Thank you!
