I have a few questions about using Retina A (Tretinoin) Cream for acne?

so im 13 and have been dealing with acne for a few years.i have been getting cystic acne on top of my already existing acne and now decided to go to the dermatologist and ask for retina A. How should i gradually start using this cream? and will it make my skin really red the first time? whats a good sunscreen to use with this? do i cleanse my face then apply this and my moisturizer? is the peeling really bad? how long will my skin go through the purging stage for? is it going to be hard to conceal my face with makeup? im worried about my skin becoming red and peeling really bad because i have school everyday. should i just wait till spring break and start then? i know its a lot of questions but i just want to make sure i use it correctly.
Answer:

Im not familiar with using Retina A for acne. I do no that the steps are: cleanse, apply the cream, moisture, then sunscreen. A good sunscreen is Neutrogena Clear Face Break out free sunscreen. Its oil-free which makes it great for acne prone skin.

make sure you are washing your face daily with a non-therapeutic gentle cleanser like cereVe, cetaphil. next, wait 10 minutes before applying your retinA. (at bedtime.) wet your fingertips & apply a large pea size to them. spread this over the entire area of your affected skin. use every other day for 2 weeks then start every day. if your skin gets dry/red/irritated, use cereVe or cetaphil moisturizer b/c it will not break out your skin. if you are getting cystic acne you might ask your derm for an oral antibiotic. you are young for accutane but you might consider birth control pills or aldactone for hormone control.
