I have been using Tretinoin Cream 0.025% for 8 weeks at night, but my skin isn't peeling. Does that mean it's not working?

My skin does not appear to be pealing does that mean Tretinoin is not working? My skin actually feels a little oily in the morning

I think its important you have appropriate skin care regimen that is customized to your skin and skin type, please see a cosmetic dermatologist who does combination treatments such as skin care, lasers, microneedling and radiofrequency.  Best, Dr. Emer.
