Question 1

how long does it take for tretinoin cream to work on pih?

Accepted Answer

Not actually a bleac: Tretinoin has some bleaching properties, but is not actually a bleach. It does enhance the penetration of other topicals, including bleaches.

Question 2

i have freckles & i have now tried the retrieve cream and layered it on and no redness or tingling or anything? does this mean it won't work for me?

Accepted Answer

Freckles: usually do not cause skin cancer hence do not need to be treated. Most cream or lotion will be ineffective. Make up can be used to cover freckles. People who freckle easily may avoid exposure to sunlight and wear sunblock. If particularly concerned about looks laser treatment may be an option

Question 3

how long does it take for tretinoin cream to fade post acne marks?

Accepted Answer

ACNE SCARS: When you  apply retin a (tretinoin) to take out scars of acne, your face will tighten, sometimes red and irritated. Then it will start peeling off the marks of acne and will smoothen the skin. Try putting moisturizers to avoid dryness.

Question 4

does retrieve cream help scaring and pigment or make it worse?

Accepted Answer

Tretinoin for Scars: Retrieve cream contains tretinoin.  Tretinoin is most effective in the treatment of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and shallow scars. It helps speed up the removal of darkened surface skin cells leading to a more even toned appearance.  It is also effective in treatment of shallow scars, such as "ice pick" scars caused by acne.  It works by stimulating collagen formation in the effected areas.

Question 5

how long does tretinoin cream 0.05 works for acne marks?

Accepted Answer

Use forever: I love tretinoin and think that every non-pregnant person should be using this (until it expires, of course).  A small pea sized amount to your entire face at night is recommended.  You can use it elsewhere if desired but not overuse as will cause irritation.  Works for acne, pigmentation, mild scars, and reversing sun damage.  Use the right sunscreen daily and give it 6-9 months for best results.

Question 6

i was prescribed minocyline hcl and tretinoin cream a week and a half ago. how long should the combo take to clear my skin?

Accepted Answer

Acne: On average, it usually takes 4-6 weeks to start see response to these medication. Keep working with cleaning your face with hypoallergenic soap like neutrogenea

Question 7

can tretinoin cream work on red acne bumps that are just starting to form?

Accepted Answer

Takes time: These topical retinoic acid creams work best long-term by causing de-differentiation of the sebaceous glands that allow acne to arise. Try using this, with or without adding topical Clindamycin if your physician thinks this is okay, for several weeks and this should help prevent recurrence.

Question 8

i have used retin a (tretinoin) cream on penis head only 2 days. now skin is rough, dead and dry. can it be healed properly? how long will it take? what to apply?

Accepted Answer

Stop RetinA: Do not use this on the penis. It is never used there. It is always irritating. Water is OK. Use something lubricating such as vaseline or Aquaphor. It will heal in a few days.
