Before using Tretinoin Gel, inform your doctor if you have eczema, sunburn, or other skin conditions. Avoid using other harsh skin products, and be cautious about sun exposure, as tretinoin can make your skin more sensitive to UV rays. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use.
Why do I have to wait 30 minutes to apply tretinoin?
You need to wait 30 minutes after washing your face to ensure your skin is completely dry. Applying tretinoin to damp skin increases the risk of irritation, as wet skin can enhance its absorption, leading to more sensitivity.
Do I need to wash tretinoin off in the morning?
Yes, it's a good idea to wash your face in the morning to remove any residual tretinoin. This also helps clear off any dead skin cells that may have been shed overnight.
How long does it take for tretinoin to fully absorb?
Tretinoin usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes to fully absorb into the skin. During this time, it’s important to avoid applying other products to ensure optimal effectiveness.
