First I started with tretinoin 0.025% cream (Retin-A), You should use it twice a week at first.
You should apply a small amount to your fingertip and spread it over your entire face before going to bed.
SIDE EFFECTS
The main downsides of Retin-A during the initial phase include an increase in acne and pimples; for a few weeks, your lips may become chapped and your skin may start to flake or peel, with general dryness being the most common side effect.
OTHER OPTIONAL ITEM
Before applying Retin-A, I always used micellar water (L'Oréal Paris) with a small cotton pad, the best effect of micellar water is that it dries out pimple and acne marks much faster than usual.
