tretinoin is the generic for Retin-A





if you still have a dry patch i suggest you try some hydrocortisone to see if that will clear up this patchy problem... retin-a is used extensively for acne, and then also for women who have concerns about wrinkles it is the acid of vitamin a derivative. It is very photo sensitive and can cause extreme hyperpigmentation when out doors and exposed to the sun so even now you should still keep mindful to use a sunfactor of 25 or greater and a conditioning lotion for your skin( do not know what type of skin you have but iff it is oily there are oil free ones on the market)
YES!


Do you have the blue one which is 0.05% or the red one with is 0.1%???
