Hey I have a question. I have been using tretinoin cream for the past 7 days and I have been using it wrong. I squeezed about multiple pea size amounts for each part of my face mistaking the term ONE PEA SIZE AMOUNT for my whole face. I have read the directions and now I understand. If I use less tomorrow and according to directions usin ONE PEA SIZE AMOUNT for my whole face will the cream still work? or my skin has built a tolerace from the large amount used? (P.S. I didn't notice much irritation when using a large amount but I want to use less according to the directions now.)

If your skin is irritated, take a break from it until your skin has calmed. Then start over.

 

A lot of us make the mistake of using too much in the beginning.

I did this with Differin as well. I, too, had little irritation from using too much either. When I read that I was using too much I just reduced the amount and it didn't stop working or anything like that.
