Yes you may but only after it’s examined by the doctor because face skin is thinner and it can cause a excessive peeling if applied daily. You can take an online consult or visit your dermatologist.

Tretin can cause a lot of dryness and irritation on the face if not applied properly. Its not the best cream for marks on the face; you could use glycolic acid based creams with a prescription - depending on the type of marks and how dark they are. Warm regards, Dr Govind S Mittal, Bengaluru
