Can I use Retin-A and a sunless tanner at the same time?

April 22, 2020
Asked By:kman234 in Abilene, TX

I was prescribed Tretinoin cream (0.025%) as a form of Retin-A, but I have also been using a gradual sunless tanner lotion prior to this. Is it ok to use them both if I alternate nights that I apply them?
