Question

I was supposed to use Tretin for my acne as per my doctor's advice, but I accidentally bought Retinol A instead. I'm kind of worried, is it safe to apply? Will there be any issues with using Retinol A instead of Tretin?

I was supposed to take my Minoz OD 100 before breakfast for 10 days, but I completely forgot this morning. Is it okay if I take it before lunch instead?
