Is it effective to use retina to treat acne n mark provided im using in conjunction with benzoyl peroxide.is it safe to use retina everyday long term?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
RetinA and BP: The use of retina and benzoyl peroxide together is more effective at treating acne than than using the products separately. Long term use is safe as long as you are not pregnant. The use of retina over time makes your skin more sun sensitive so make sure you use a sun screen.
