A member asked:
Is it normal to still have clogged pores after 5 months on tretinoin? i still purge every now and again but those are from deep clogged pores

Dosage: I'm guessing you are referring to the topical version of it. If the dosage is too low then you could still have some keratin buildup. You can consider increasing the dosage if your skin tolerates it or consider adding salicylic acid to your facial wash routine.
