Tretin is a cream used for pimples. But it has has skin rejuvenation properties so similar chemicals to tretin are used in anti ageing creams. It improves your skin quality but makes your skin dry initially. It takes about 2 months to get used to it. If it is drying your skin a lot stop it for a few days. It also causes photosensitivity. Or sensitivity to sunlight. Photoban 30 is a sunscreen and is ideally prescribed with tretin to prevent photosensitivity. So yes you can use both of them. Warm regards. Dr. Rajdeep Mysore.
