You likely developed a tan. If no burning or redness on the face, continue with sunscreen and tretinoin. To correct a tan, you'd have to send photos and consult online. If there is burning, you'll need immediate care, skin tretinoin. Never skip sunscreen.

Hii
Make sure while you are on retinoids, the most important thing before moving out is application of sunscreen Atleast 20-30 mini prior and reapply every 4 hours
