Tretin based creams have to be used only with prescription and need a proper monitoring so that the frequency can be decided. A proper skin care regime has to be followed which will consist of a moisturiser and sunscreen to start with . You can visit us at the clinic for a consultation and we can plan a proper skin care regime depending of your skin type .
