I am 18 year old. And I have been using retino ac for past 5 days, this made my skin worse. I got so many scars because of it. Now I have decided to stop taking retino ac. How much days does it take to get rid of the dryness and can I apply potato to reduce the scar?

Hello, Tretinoin are one of the best product for skin priming, All using tretinoin passes through a phase called tretinoin Purge where the skin becomes, red, peeling, increase in dryness acne etc and over time skin adapts usually takes 10 days to 3 wks. Once skin adapted it gives the best results among all products. Consult your dermatologist and continue the cream.
