When (and how) to use Tretinoin 0.05% Gel by Obagi

Morning Routine: Apply a moisturizer, preferably with sunscreen, that will not aggravate your acne. Nighttime Routine: Wash with a mild soap and dry skin gently Wait 20 to 30 minutes to allow skin to completely dry Squeeze no more than half an inch of medication onto fingertip; more medication will not yield faster or better results and may cause irritation Apply onto face, covering affected area lightly, starting with your forehead, chin, and both cheeks, then spread over the entire affected area Avoid corners of the nose, mouth, eyes, and open wounds
