Pro-Tips from Dr. Cheryl Bansal
“As one of my patients recently said, “tretinoin is my holy grail.” All retinoids are wonderful for acne, but tretinoin is one of the most widely used and studied. Most patients using tretinoin (as part of a balanced daily regimen) will see results in three months. We always warn people that acne can get better before it gets worse, but rest assured, by sticking to the regimen, results will come.”
