Tretinoin
Usage Instructions

1. Wash your face with warm water and a gentle soap such as Dove or Cerave.
2. Pat your face dry with a towel.
3. Apply a small, pea sized, amount of tretinoin (Retin-A) to your face focusing on the forehead, cheeks, and chin. Avoid the eyes, lips, and neck.
4. Apply your moisturizer on top of this. You do not need to wait to apply the moisturizer.
5. Tretinoin (Retin-A) will make your skin more sun sensitive. Make sure to wear sunscreen on a daily basis.

Note: When starting tretinoin (Retin-A), use every 2-3 nights. After 1 month, if you haven’t experienced irritation, you may increase to every night. Because of our dry climate here in Colorado, you may only be able to use 1-2x weekly initially. This is extremely common. Retin-A is most effective when used before bed as the medication is inactivated by natural sunlight and indoor light.
