For oily skin with blackheads, sebaceous filaments, and large pores, a gentle foaming or gel cleanser such as Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser, CeraVe Foaming Cleanser, or La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Gel can be used twice daily to help control oil and keep pores clear. If you are already using adapalene, it is generally not recommended to use Tretin 0.025% Cream simultaneously without medical supervision, as both are topical retinoids that may increase the risk of irritation; typically, only one is used at a time. When switching to tretinoin, start with applications 2–3 nights per week, gradually increasing the frequency as tolerated. Always apply sunscreen daily, as retinoids increase sun sensitivity. It is essential to consult your dermatologist for medical advice before starting or modifying these treatments, as recommendations should be tailored to your specific skin condition, tolerance, and treatment goals.

Tretin 0.05% cream may commonly cause skin dryness, irritation, and discomfort, particularly during the initial weeks of treatment as the skin adapts to the medication. This occurs because tretinoin increases skin cell turnover, which can temporarily disrupt the skin's natural barrier, leading to dryness, redness, peeling, or pain. Using excessive amounts, applying it too frequently, or combining it with other harsh skincare products can worsen these effects. If you experience significant pain or persistent irritation, it is advisable to stop using the cream temporarily and consult a dermatologist. Your doctor may suggest adjusting the dosage, reducing the frequency of application, or switching to a lower-strength or alternative treatment better suited to your skin's tolerance.

Tretinoin 0.025% is a well-known and effective treatment for anti-ageing. It helps reduce fine lines, improve skin texture, and boost collagen over time. This strength is usually gentle enough for long-term use, but some dryness, redness, or irritation may occur, especially when first used. Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin at night. Follow with a moisturiser, and always use sunscreen in the morning, as tretinoin can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Results and side effects can vary from person to person, depending on factors such as skin type, age, and other underlying health conditions. It’s best to consult a dermatologist to ensure tretinoin is right for your specific skin needs, especially if you have other medical conditions, are taking medications, or are pregnant or breastfeeding.

If using tretinoin 0.05% has caused your under-eye area to darken, it could be due to irritation, as the skin in that area is very delicate and sensitive. It's best to discontinue use of the product and allow the skin to heal. Since under-eye pigmentation can have various causes and requires a gentle, targeted approach, it's essential to consult a dermatologist. They can recommend a safe and effective treatment tailored to your skin type. Avoid using strong creams near the eyes without consulting a doctor, as they may cause more harm than good.

Yes, you can use Tretin 0.025% cream into your night skincare routine, but with caution. Wash your face with cleanser and apply Tretin 0.025% cream, followed by moisturizer.
