Talk to your doctor if your skin reactions bother you or if they do not subside after some time. Your doctor may recommend that you use this medication less frequently, or that you stop using it completely.

Excessive exposure to natural or artificial sunlight may increase the risk of sunburn.

It may also cause premature aging and skin cancer if exposed over many years.

The risks of developing these side effects vary with climate, skin type, and care taken to prevent overexposure to the sun.

The risk of getting sunburn and developing other skin problems is higher when using this medicine because it can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight.

Therefore, it is very important to avoid exposure to sunlight and sunlamps when using this medicine.

Make sure to apply sunscreen when you go outside (even on foggy days) if you can't avoid exposure to the sun or sunlamps.

You may notice new blemishes (papules and pustules) 3 to 6 weeks after starting this medicine.

It is very important that you continue to use the medication at this point. If tretinoin will help reduce acne, you should see continued improvement in the appearance of your skin after 6 to 12 weeks of treatment.

Be patient and don't get discouraged if you don't notice any immediate improvement. Do not stop using the cream at the first signs of skin improvement. You should continue using the medicine until your doctor tells you to stop.
