Dermatologists HATE them (You Lot)

I've had better results from 4 months on this subreddit than 17 years going to dermatologists. For years I've been going to dermatologists and not a single one of them mentioned Tretinoin OR dairy OR allergies to Niacinamides, all three of which have been freaking game changers for me. It's staggering. I have spent so much money in dermatologists offices and pharmacies for stuff they recommended that has frequently left my skin irritated and dry as a desert. I'm bitter about that because I bet they are getting kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies for some of these things whereas they could have sent me home with a $10 tube of Tret. And I kept with them for way longer than I should have because doctor said so.

I'm not saying dermatologists aren't of value for a lot of people. For sure they are for many. I'm just staggered by how much I've learned in the last couple of months from this resource alone. Once I get past the bitterness I'll feel empowered and grateful!!!
