Differin Gentle Cleanser: a non-irritating, non-comedogenic (does not clog pores) that can remove make-up without stripping the natural oils from your skin. Because topical retinoids (like Tretinoin) can cause skin irritation and peeling, it’s important to use a gentle cleanser to avoid making skin irritation worse.

CeraVe Moisturizing Cream: acne regimens that include topical retinoids can cause skin irritation and flaking. Moisturizing the skin can help reduce the appearance of skin flaking and can soothe the skin. It’s important to use a product that is non-comedogenic (meaning it does not clog the pores), to avoid undoing your hard work in treating your acne. We specifically recommend using a cream like CeraVe because it is deeply moisturizing (as opposed to lotions that come in a pump and are watery, which can leave skin quickly feeling dry).

Alba Mineral Sunscreen: as Tretinoin exfoliates the top layers of the skin during acne treatment, that can make your skin more sensitive to sunburns.
