A member asked:
I use tretinoin 0.05% since one month. it worked great to remove whiteheads, now they started to come back again though i am using it everyday. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Whiteheads: Wash face with Cetaphil and dry well. It is recommended to use Tretinoin on a regular daily basis. Most patients need that for several months. It can cause redness. Avoid excessive sun exposure.
