Tretinoin speeds up the skin cell turnover process, causing some initial breakouts, drying, and peeling. During the first 3 weeks you are using tretinoin, your skin may become irritated. Also, your acne may seem to get worse before it gets better. It may take longer than 12 weeks before you notice full improvement of your acne, even if you use the medicine every day.
Regular use of water-based creams or lotions helps to reduce skin irritation or dryness that may be caused by the use of tretinoin
