A member asked:
Will putting hemp oil on my face letting it soak in for 30 minutes then put retin a (tretinoin) on minimise redness and flaking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Products like Retin-A exfoliate the skin, and WILL cause some dryness and flaking in some people. If this is too bothersome, try applying every other night. A moisturizer can help with the flaking, but use caution. Some people have had acne breakouts using hemp oil in their face, so if your acne worsens, stop the oil. You can also ask your Dr what moisturizer he/she recommends!
