Hello lybrate-user, tretin contains a molecule called tretinoin which is photosenstive i. E it can make your skin more prone to sun tanning. Thus its prudent that you apply a good sunscreen like la shield sunscreen gel in morning and afternoon. Meanwhile I would suggest you to discontinue further use of tretin and instead use a detanning cream like melaglow cream twice a day to bring back your original skin tone. Hope the information was useful to you.
