Retin-A should be applied directly to the skin of areas affected by acne after washing the area with a mild-soap. A small dab should be applied to affected areas on the face, usually at night. You should also make sure you wash your hands before and after applying Retin-A on your skin. If you miss a dose, you should take it when you remember. If it is close to your next scheduled dose, however, you should wait. Never double your dose to make up for a missed application.
