Asked By:jk2000aabc in Manama, Muḥāfaẓat al-ʿĀṣimah, Bahrain

My current skincare routine is in the morning I cleanse my skin, then I use aloe vera gel to moistrize it, then at night, I cleanse and then use tretinoin every night. My skin is starting clear up but I noticed that Im having side effects and my skin is peeling. I have combination skin and tretinoin already works well on my forehead, but the skin on my cheeks are peeling and slightly itching. I just wanna know how often should I use tretinoin and what is the correct way to use it?
