If you're using Retinol or Retin-A (tretinoin) products, you should stop using them at least 5–7 days before waxing to avoid irritation, burns, or skin lifting.
For stronger prescription products:
Tretinoin (Retin-A, Differin, Tazorac): Stop 7–10 days before waxing.
Accutane (Isotretinoin): Avoid waxing for at least 6 months after stopping use, as it severely thins the skin.
