Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin nightly. Begin with every other night to minimize irritation. Gradually increase frequency as tolerated.
Understanding Your Skin’s Reaction
Expect mild redness, peeling, or dryness, especially during the initial weeks. This is normal. Reduce application frequency if irritation becomes severe. Always use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher daily, as tretinoin increases sun sensitivity.
Optimizing Your Routine
Introduce tretinoin slowly. Avoid using other harsh actives (like AHAs/BHAs) concurrently, especially at the start. Gentle cleansers and hydrating moisturizers are your allies. Apply moisturizer after tretinoin to minimize dryness.
Addressing Common Concerns
Persistent irritation? Consult a dermatologist. They can adjust your treatment plan or suggest alternative options. Sun protection is paramount–don’t skip it!
