  • You must get to the “standard” dose of tretinoin and stay there or higher for at least 3 months.
  • Don’t scrub your face; the tretinoin makes your skin delicate.
  • The tretinoin is the key to changing the intrinsic qualities of your skin. You may want to start with the gradual dose because it initially makes you peel.
  • Control amount of Tretinoin (retin-A) if you peel too much or turn red.
  • If you need to control itching, tightness and dryness ask for Tolereen® or Action®
