I've been struggling with acne for years and finally decided to try Tretinoin Micro 0.1% Gel. I've read that it can help renew your skin and prevent clogged pores, but I'm a bit nervous about the potential side effects like skin irritation and redness. Has anyone else tried this? What was your experience like? How long did it take to see results? I'd really appreciate any tips or advice on how to manage the side effects if they arise., I'm currently using a small pea-sized amount every other day as recommended, but I'm not sure if I should adjust the frequency. Also, does anyone know if it's safe to use other skincare products alongside Tretinoin?

I tried Tretinoin a few years ago and had a terrible reaction. My skin was so irritated and red that I had to stop using it. Maybe it was just my skin being sensitive, but it was not a good experience for me. I stick to benzoyl peroxide now.

I've been using Tretinoin for about three months now, and I've seen a significant improvement in my acne. The first few weeks were tough because of the irritation, but it's definitely worth it. I started by using it every other day and gradually increased to every day as my skin adjusted. Make sure to moisturize a lot; it helps with the dryness. Good luck!

This is a very popular product. I know a lot of people who have had success with it. Just make sure to use a good SPF during the day and avoid direct sunlight, if you can. You don't want to have to choose between acne and a sun burn.

I'm on week 3 of Tretinoin and my skin is peeling like crazy. Is this normal?
