“Retinized”
February 23rd, 2006
When starting acne treatment with on of the topical retinoids (Differin, Retin a, or Tazorac) it is important to realize that there may be some initial irritation and dryness. We have spoken in prior posts about helping to reduce this initial irritation.
What’s important to remember is that if you can stick it out, you will eventually become “retinized.” This term is used in the dermatologic community and means that over time, your skin will adjust and get used to the topical retinoid and irritation will decrease and maybe even go away.
So, if you are just starting one of these topical medications, be patient and be tolerant, the results will be worth it.
