tretinoin for fading red marks

[leslie788 0]

Hi. I was put on tretinoin to fade my red marks. I was just wondering, how well does that work? I thought tretinoin's main purpose was to treat acne, not the red marks left over. I've been on tretinoin for almost 8 weeks and I thought my marks were fading after about 4 weeks maybe a little but now they don't really seem to be fading.

Doesnt hurt to try though. Just make sure not to use too much cuz retin-A can create irritation very easily. Give it more time.

How much more time?

Whatever amount it may take for your skin to shed and regrow new layers. What did your doctor tell you?
