Together with your dermatologist, you will develop a skincare routine that's right for you. Here's some advice to help you get the best results from RETIN-A MICRO.

Do use mild soaps
Stay away from abrasive soaps and harsh shampoos. They can irritate your skin. The same goes for astringents and aftershaves with alcohol, spices or lime in them.

Don't over wash your face
Washing and scrubbing frequently doesn't make your acne go away faster. It could make it worse. Don't ever pick or squeeze pimples.

Do what your doctor says
Before you use any other medications or products that may affect your skin, check with your physician. Your doctor knows which ones are helpful during treatment and which aren't.

Don't spot treat blemishes
Extra dabs of RETIN-A MICRO on pimples won't make them go away faster. Too much could actually irritate your skin. Always use the amount your doctor recommends.

Do protect your skin outdoors
Especially avoid excessive exposure to hot or cold weather conditions. This can worsen skin irritation. Besides using a sunscreen and a moisturizer, protect your face when it's cold and windy.
