Treatment of comedonal acne-KH

John L. Bezzant,M.D.

Retin-A 0.025% cream. It is recommended that a person wait 20 to 30 minutes after washing the face before applying Retin-A, but I find that it is very difficult for people to remember to do that, and it markedly reduces the compliance. I recommend that they simply apply the medication immediately after cleansing the skin, that they apply a lotion on top of the Retin-A.
