FAQs — Tretinoin Cream 0.05 in South Africa
Do I need a prescription in South Africa?
Yes. Tretinoin 0.05% is a prescription-only medicine. Always use it under a licensed provider’s guidance.
How long until I see changes?
Most users notice smoother texture and fewer breakouts within 6–8 weeks. Dark marks fade with steady use over a few months.
Can I use it with niacinamide or hyaluronic acid?
Yes. Both help reduce dryness and support hydration. Apply them after tretinoin or on alternate nights if your skin feels tight.
What if I forget a dose?
Skip that night and apply it the next evening. Don’t double up — consistency matters more than frequency.
Can I use it near the eyes?
Avoid eyelids and the corners of your eyes and mouth. Apply moisturizer in those areas for protection.
Can I use it in summer and winter?
Yes. Use daily SPF in summer and add a richer moisturizer in winter to manage dryness.
What helps if I get dry patches or peel?
Use a hydrating moisturizer twice a day and pause tretinoin for a few nights. Avoid scrubbing or picking at the skin.
