Asked for female, 45 years old from Mumbai

I have started using tretinoin 0.5 a month back. I use it every alternate night followed by a thick moisturizer. However, I have started noticing peeling on my forehead and nose area. Should I stop using it? What needs to be done? Please advice.

Dr. Sejal Chandak Khandelwal91%(58 ratings)

MBBS, MD Dermatology

Dermatologist•Nagpur

Hi
tretinoin 0.5%is a strong retinoid and it can cause peeling in some. However, it is the first and best topical cream indicated for acne. I suggest to shift to a lower percentage of retinoids like 0.025%percent and apply moisturizer before and after it. And avoid facewash for 3 days to settle your skin.

Is there any alternative cream to panderm which is safe to use and doesn't have side effects, I used to use panderm cream, my skin has become very fair, but I started getting pimples etc so stopped it, now I have recovered back. But I like the way panderm cream used to make my skin look fair and very fresh, is there any alternate cream which gives results as panderm but safe to use and has no or less side effects?

Dr. Anushruti Aggarwal

Please don't use panderm on your face. It is a steroid cream which has a lot of side effects and should never be used on face. Consult a dermatologist for proper treatment of pigmentation.

You can apply aloe vera juice/gel from its leaf (fresh, not from readymade
gels available in market) on your face. Remove skin of an aloe vera leaf. Take/scoop out gel. Apply this gel to your face skin. Wash with plain water after an hour.
