A member asked:
Been using tretinoin 0.1 and glycolic acid 10 during the day for one month.. there's no peels at all just a little red and dry on my face.. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: It is normal to get a little red and dry from both of those products especially during the winter. This should dissipate with time. If the dryness bothers you you can skip using the retinoid for a day or two.
