Is it possible to still get pimples(but not much) after using tretinoin for 4 months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very common: Tretinoin works well to control acne, but it doesn't eradicate it completely. You may still get pimples here and there. You should notice that your breakouts don't last as long as they used to. Don't forget your sunscreen!
