If you have acne/ open pores/ black or white heads. Only then it would be helpful. It must be applied gently in very small quantities, must not be rubbed, initially for only 1 hr at night.

Never apply retino cream on corners of nose,lips and around eyes ..these are highly sensitive and thinner areas so you might get erythema and burning..
