My derm just started me on Tretinoin .05% (generic for Retin-A), to be applied every other night (since I'm currently on my final month of Accutane). I feel like I've never really applied retinoids properly, and I just wanted to make sure that you're supposed to wash your face in the morning, effectively removing the medication from your skin for the duration of the day. Thanks!

Hows that working for you? I'm thinking about doing it.
