Newbie Question re. Tretinoin After Rolling

[GigiA]

HI Sarah

I have just started using the 0.025% tretinoin cream, and as I mentioned to you in an email, I have had no stinging, redness, irritation or peeling (despite having sensitive skin!). You mentioned that in this case it is ok to use it more often than 2-3 times a week. So far I have used it every day for about 4 days.

My question is: if I wish to roll with a 0.2mm roller a few times a week, how long should I wait until I apply the tretinoin cream? Is it ok to apply it the same day? I tried it the other night on a small patch, after waiting for an hour or so, and it seemed ok. I did apply vitamin C right after rolling, and my skin was pricking a bit from that (as usual), but I don't think the stinging got worse after the tretinoin.

I am just wondering if you think it is ok, or if you recommend waiting until the following evening to apply it?

Many thanks

GiGiA

You can certainly apply on the same day if your skin has no problems with it.

   

  We even have customers who apply A-Ret on their face right after rolling with a 0.2 mm roller without any problems but when I applied a 0.25 % A-Ret right after rolling with a 0.2 mm dermaroller, my face had a very unpleasant quite strong burning sensation for hours. I can do it on my body but not on my face. It is individual.
