[Acne] purging from retinoids, but fancy event in 2.5 weeks- best course of action?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I'm 2 weeks into using Curology with .009 tretinoin, I'm using it every 3rd night still to get used to it. My acne was almost clear to start with aside from some congested areas around my "beard" area (quotes because I'm a chick), but now I'm purging. Not super super bad, probably because low percentage and relatively ok skin, but it's there.The dilemma: I have a fancy event in 2.5 weeks that I'd like to not look bad for. Should I:1) hold the course for every 3rd night to keep the purging hopefully at a dull roar, and go slow but steady2) back off even further (every 4 nights?) in hopes that it affects me even less but is still working3) go up to every 2nd night and just try to push through more in a hurry?What would you do?Routine-wise: On the non-Curology nights I'm going about my business as usual with an acid toner for sensitive skin (Biologique Recherche p50w, aka the best stuff ever omg) and then some moisturizing things layered on top (Scinic Honey AIO, LJH propolis ampoule). Curology nights I do the same moisturizing stuff but maybe an extra layer or so after letting the Curology work for 10-15 minutes.Thanks for any help or suggestions you can throw my way.
