A member asked:
Why did my face clear up a lot with retin-a the first two weeks but then got a little red in the cheek area and now it's always there ? is this normal
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Red face: Your face has reacted to the retin a (tretinoin). You need to apply a moisturizer to your skin and possibly take a few days off of applying the retin a (tretinoin).
