Warning and precautions when using tretinoin
According to Dr. Mohta, you should always use a daily sunscreen SPF 50 when using tretinoin and reapply it every 2 hours when outdoors.
You should also avoid using too much of your tretinoin cream. You only need a pea-sized amount to cover your entire face. Using too much cream can increase your risk of experiencing side effects without offering extra benefits.

What is the tretinoin purge?
The so-called tretinoin purge is a common skin reaction that occurs when a patient uses tretinoin for the first time.
“Although research shows that tretinoin fights acne and is effective as an anti-aging ingredient; the skin goes under a “cleansing” process often referred to as skin purging,” says Dr. Mohta.
“The symptoms often associated with this process include intensified acne breakouts (for a short period of 2 to 6 weeks), severe skin dryness and peeling, redness and irritation. However, this process is temporary and once it’s over, in general, the skin will improve, and you will be able to see the positive effects of tretinoin,” she added.
When to contact your healthcare provider?
Dr. Mohta says that you need to make sure that the symptoms you are experiencing are within the realm of what is “typical” as far as side effects go. Call your healthcare provider if your skin irritation is causing you severe pain or if it gets too uncomfortable.
