A member asked:
If my face is peeling due to using stieva-a 0.1% do you recommend i stop? use a moisturizer and continue the stieva in a week? or keep going? thanks

Don't stop yet: Peeling is normal at the beginning of treatment with tretinoin. However, you might want to consider using a less potent version, such as 0.025% or 0.05% and use cream rather than gel. Still use moisturizer.
