What should I do? My face is itching, peeling, and has dryness when I use retin-a 0.05%, so do I keep it? (photo)

Question

Peter Petropoulos, MD · Answer

The big question I would want to know is how often are you using it?  If you started a daily regimen, it would be good to drop to once or twice a week and escalate slowly.  If you are using it a few times per week, it would help to add a moisturizer or hyaluronic acid serum to your daily regimen once or twice per day, at the end of your skin care routine.  Hopefully this may help.
