The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Singapore.

Daily application of topical tretinoin steadily builds deep [collagen](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/collagen), clearly smooths fine lines and dark spots, and calms troublesome breakouts by clearing pores and reducing redness. This refined active ingredient suits both dry skin and oily skin particularly well, and it is easily found in lightweight [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/serum). To keep your skin comfortable, simply apply your tretinoin at a separate time from [glycolic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/glycolic-acid), [benzoyl peroxide](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/benzoyl-peroxide), and [vitamin C](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/vitamin-c).

## Questions and answers

### What does tretinoin do for the skin?

Tretinoin helps improve the clinical appearance of photoaging in terms of wrinkling, mottled hyperpigmentation, sallowness, and lentigines. Daily application may also produce an increase in [collagen](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/collagen) I formation in photodamaged skin.

[International Journal of Women's Dermatology, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35620028/) [The New England Journal of Medicine, 1993](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8336752/)

### How do you use tretinoin?

Tretinoin is applied at night to help improve the clinical appearance of photoaging and reduce acne lesions. Daily application helps restore collagen formation in photodamaged human skin over time.

[International Journal of Women's Dermatology, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35620028/) [Archives of Dermatological Research, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34146120/)

### Should you use tretinoin in the morning or at night?

You should use tretinoin at night to help prevent irritation and ensure the best results. Applying it at night also allows it to work effectively alongside morning partner ingredients like [vitamin C](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/vitamin-c) or peptides without causing skin issues.

[International Journal of Women's Dermatology, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35620028/)

### Can you use tretinoin every day?

Yes, you can use tretinoin every day for photoaging, as daily application helps increase collagen formation. Topical tretinoin improves the clinical appearance of wrinkles and mottled hyperpigmentation while remaining safe and well tolerated.

[The New England Journal of Medicine, 1993](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8336752/) [International Journal of Women's Dermatology, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35620028/)

### Does tretinoin cause purging or irritation?

Yes, tretinoin may cause skin irritation and redness. It helps improve the clinical appearance of photoaging and is safe and well tolerated.

[Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32210603/) [International Journal of Women's Dermatology, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35620028/)

### Which skin types is tretinoin best for?

Tretinoin is best for oily, combination, acne-prone, and mature skin types. For oily acne-prone skin, Lovi gives High fit ratings to products like Retin-A Cream, Curology Formula, and Menarini A-Ret Gel.

### Can you use tretinoin with glycolic acid?

Keep them apart by using [glycolic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/glycolic-acid) and tretinoin on alternate nights because they are both strong and should not go on together.
