[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone please tell me how to use tretinoin? I have it but was told that applying a pea-sized amount onto face every other day is the best approach. Is this what others do?[/quote] This is my advice (I’m NOT a doctor): Start with the weakest formulation. Before bed, apply pea size amount to clean and dry skin, every other night. Apply a good, gentle moisturizer after.* Gradually try to increase to 4x per week, then nightly. My skin has never tolerated that, so after several years I still only apply it every other night. You can also try to increase the formulation, but I’d try to apply more often before moving to higher formulation. Wear sunscreen daily. * If any redness or flaking occurs, you can apply moisturizer before and after applying the tretinoin (that’s called “sandwiching”). If your skin feels like it is burning to inflames, stop the tret and apply a skin barrier repair cream like Avene. [/quote]
