Question: How many times a day should i use retin-a acne gel?

My doctor said only at night, but I have been using it for two months and it has only gotten worse. Should I use it during the day as well?

Retin A is very strong and can cause scarring if used too frequently. It takes a layer of skin from your face so be very careful. Your GP has prescribed it for you and told you to use it sparingly so take his advise.

I went to a dermatologist for this crap so this should work for you too first only use a PEA SIZE amount at night daily. over use of this product causes your face to get red, swell up, and dry extremely bad and if your acne gets worse this is suppose to happen with retin a but gets better soon after because its deeply cleaning all of that junk and rising it to the top of the skin as the acne form.
