How long until retin-a micro evens out my red skin tone ? i've been on it for 9 weeks but still have red spots and red uneven tone in cheeks and chin.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Never: Retin-a does not get rid of redness. It will help with acne. Consider oracea, Metrogel or finacea for the redness around the bumps. Also redness reduction creams can help. If you have brown spots you may need a laser.
