Tretinoin 0.05% Cream: My skin has never looked better! (But is it worth the side effects?)
I've been using Tretinoin 0.05% Cream for about two months now, and I've seen a remarkable improvement in my acne and fine lines. However, I've also experienced some side effects that have me wondering if it's all worth it. I've had some dryness, redness, and occasional stinging, but my dermatologist assures me this is normal. I'm just curious to know if others have had similar experiences and if there are any tips for managing these side effects. I tried to find information on how common these side effects are and how long they last, but I could not find it anywhere. Does anyone know where to look?
