Can I use retinoic acid (brand - retino a 0.025%)and biluma cream together at different times of a day?

Question

no. please don't self treat. this is dangerous behaviour. The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated. Please send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.,

Yes, you can use them. However, start initially with less contact duration of retino a and gradually increase it so that you don't have any irritation or redness due to tretinoin.

Hi. Yes you can use both but apply a very smal quantity. Must use a sunscreen during daytime if using both the creams. Thanks.
