Hello!Try applying the tretinoin every other night for two weeks to help your skin become acclimated to the topical. Using a retinoid every night is optimal but at least three times a week to be effective. A topical hydrocortisone can be helpful with the itchiness...but no coconut oil, very comedogenic for the face. Oil-free is best for your skin type. Stay away!
In our office, we prescribe retinoid products daily. We advise patients to mix the Retinoid creams with Elevase Moisture Booster which contains hydrating Opti-Ceramides. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
