Peeling/separating of makeup

Post Content

I’ve been on tret for a year and before that I was on differin. I use HA serum, barrier support serum and moisturizer twice a day with a thicker moisturizer and vasaline at night. I use an exfoliation serum a few times a month. I find that my makeup does not last well through the day and looks like it’s almost peeling or separating on my skin. I don’t know if this is from the Tret. It’s happened with multiple different makeup products. Right now I use the Elf sun glow SPF primer and then Missha BB cream foundation. I will set with a very small amount of powder but I like to avoid powder because I don’t want to look dry or have it settle in my lines. Any advice? My makeup usually always separate on my nose, chin and T zone and I have to touch up throughout the day. It ends up just looking weird and patchy. I don’t think it’s dry skin from Tret because it’s only with makeup.
