Greetings to you. Dear sir, actually I had acne scars so I started using tretinoin 0.25% gel on my face. After a week, my skin is peeling off from face which is normal, but I am not able to sleep at nights due the sticky liquid drops coming out of my face?s skin. I am not using any moisturiser after tretinoin. Just applying spf30 gel all the time. Please help me. I am not able to sleep at nights and days as well. It is quite itchy and sticky due to the coming coming out.

Tretinoin gel can cause slight irritation. Apply in the evening 10 minutes after washing the face, keep it for 2 hrs and then wash. May be after a week you can leave it overnight. Apply sunscreen in the morning and afternoon 20 minutes before going out.
