Retin-A , should be applied once a day, in the evening, to the skin where acne lesions appear, using enough to cover the entire affected area lightly. Leave on overnight.
Sunscreen and protective clothing should be used when outside during the day.
Minimize your time out in the sun if possible whilst using Retin-A.
