A member asked:
I used tretinoin .1 3 or 4 times a month ago and my skin is still peeling, dry, irritated, and enlarged pores. what can i do? is this damage?

Apparently you are: SUPER sensitive to the product that you used and have a prolonged contact dermatitis. Continue to generously moisturize your skin and use an OTC corticosteroid cream. If it itches, you can add antihistamine pills to deal with that. However, if you have done all this for the past month, it is time to see a specialist/Dermatologist for further diagnosis and possible prescription medicine.Good wishes
