The first medication, tresoment (tretinoin), is highly effective and standard for treating acne. However, the second cream contains a strong steroid, a retinoid, and a skin-lightening agent. Applying topical steroids directly onto active pimples is generally not recommended, as it can worsen acne or cause skin thinning. This cream is typically used briefly to fade dark spots left behind after acne heals. I advise using the tretinoin cream for your acne and consulting your dermatologist to confirm if the steroid-containing cream should only be applied to dark marks rather than active pimples.
