If it is not causing any irritation then you can continue for few days, but wear sunscreen and moisturize properly

Application of tretin based creams need to be monitored and would be advisable to follow the doctors prescription as they may have side effects if used for long periods. We need to do a proper skin analysis and may suggest the appropriate skin care regime. You can visit us at the clinic or do an online consultation for the same .

Tretin is suppose to cause skin sensitivity on application. If you able to tolerate it throughout night then u can keep it all night.
