At night, apply moisturizer, wait 10 minutes, apply a pea-sized amount of 0.025% tretinoin, wait another 10 minutes, then apply moisturizer again. Use sunscreen every day.

In the morning, cleanse your face, apply moisturizer if needed, then apply sunscreen.

Start by using it 2–3 times a week on non-consecutive nights.
