Continue use: The biggest misconception about tretinoin is the time frame for benefit. It takes months to see the full effect; either for acne or for cosmetic use. Continue using the product for a minimum of 3 months before deciding whether you are getting the benefit that you want.

Tretinoin/retin-a: When first starting a routine of tretinoin it's important to give your skin time to adjust. As you've noticed it can be quite drying and irritating during the initial stages. Applying it at night and using a heavy moisturizer, and using it every other day or every third day while your skin adapts should help. After a few weeks your skin's appearance will be improved.

Tretinoin: It can thin the skin with excessive use. Try skin ceuticals.
