Hi everybody,
I just used Retin-A (Tretinoin cream) at 0.05% strength for the first time last night.
up until now I've just used a basic Alpha Hydroxy cream at night,
and when I did I always felt this immediate stingy/tingeling feeling on my face from the Alpha Hydroxy....so I knew it was working!
But last night with the Retin A I felt nothing......is this normal?
I'd heard that people sometimes get the redness and flaking or peeling after using it for a while, but should I be feeling any IMMEDIATE sensations when the Retin A is applied to my skin?
I just want to make sure the Retin A I'm using is the real deal
I had ordered it through the AllDayChemists site and it's the
Johnson & Johnson's brand (although the box it came in has English and Indian writing on it) Of course it ships through India.
I was planning on using this every other night as long as I have no irritation.
Should my face be stinging or tingeling when the Retin A is first applied though?
Thanks for any advice!
