hello dear,

Tretinoin is strictly applied in night time and particularly in winters, preferably start with alternate day application initially.

If you have lots of pimples, then you may require oral antibiotics also depending on your age and other relevant details.

Face wash should be twice daily, not more than that as excess washing can disturb the useful normal flora of skin.

So, kindly send me the pics of the lesions and tell me about your age, sex, marital status so that i can help you further.

Thanx.
