Does Refissa Tretinoin Cream Initiates Skin Rash And Irritation?

Hi, I've read different articles about Refissa Tretinoin Cream. Some articles say this product works well while others say there is little or no evidence of skin improvement. I'm 52 and have been using Refissa for a few weeks. All I've noticed is that my skin is red and irritated. Should I continue to use this product or was it a waste of money? I've also read is works better on younger women or men. What is your opinion?

Thanks,
Bonnie

Hi and thanks for the query,

It is chemical and could of course initiate this kind of reaction. However, it is imperative to be sure this occurred mainly after the use of the product. Skin sensitivities to particular products do actually differ, with people being sensitive to different products. I do think if you are sure you noticed the irritation only after using the product, my advice shall be for you to stop and seek advice from your doctor. Kind regards
