    1. [Sun Care] Dermatologist told me yesterday that I have to use tinted sunscreen if I'm on tretinoin, not just regular sunscreen. Is this true or are they just trying to sell me on the products they recommended?
    2. [sun care] My sun exposed skin is covered in freckles, but covered areas are almost completely clear. Can this be reversed?
