A member asked:

Can i use adapelene and tretinoin at same day?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

WHY????: In makes no sense because they both do exactly the same thing. Yes, you can. But no reason to use both. Depending on the forms and strengths, adapalene tends to be more effective and better tolerated.
