A member asked:
I was prescribed benzamycin in the morning and tretinoin at night for acne. is tretinoin supposed to be used on top of acne or just acne prone sites?

Tretinoin: Tretinoin is a great product that reduces oil glands and improves acne. You can use it all over your skin rather than spot treating.

Tretinoin: Apply as a thin layer over the entire area being treated with or without acne.
