What products can I use in addition to Tretinoin 0.1% to get rid of acne on my cheeks and chin?

Question

I have acne on my cheeks and chin. I have been using Tretinoin .1% Cream with Cetaphil foaming cleanser and Aveeno Daily Moisturizing lotion. They’re the only products that don’t make my face burn while using the tretinoin. I have been using all 3 of these for about 5-6 months. The acne has not gotten better and my skin continues to peel.

Hello and thank you for your question and photo. Face to face evaluation of your skin is optimal to adequately assess the red marks that I see on your cheeks and chin. As for acne treatment, there are other topical and oral medications that can be used in conjunction with tretinoin 0.1% cream. I would recommend a consultation by a board certified dermatologist for evaluation of your skin and discussion of appropriate treatment. Best of luck.
