Avoid sun exposure while using tretinoin. Not only could sun exposure set back your progress, but tretinoin can increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight, making it more likely that your skin could dry out, flake and peel. It can take months before tretinoin will improve your skin. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
