A member asked:
I just started tretinoin for acne. i've read about all the people who experience peeling. is there a way to prevent that other than waiting after wash?

Moisturize: You can try combining the tretinoin with a facial moisturizer like eucerin or cerave. Also you can use the moisturizer the morning after you use the tretinoin. In addition if you find yourself peeling from the medicine you may want to alternate your facial cleanser by using one for more sensitive skin when you get more appealing. I like cetaphil facialcleanser.
