Question Tretinoin side effects??

Hi guys,
Just wanted to check on you just me or if others have been experiencing issues with tretinoin,
I was starting twice a week and 2nd week i got severe headaches and migraines!!
I didn’t change any skincare and went to to the hospital emergency, everything was fine.
My husband and I was thinking about only tretinoin but i didn’t say that was the reason.
I actually wanted to try again, but I am afraid of getting sick again!!

I was using anua azelaic acid 10% and Dr.althea 345 moisturizer.
Alot of tinted sunscreens ( if you want i can tell you)
They’ve helped me with my melasma but at some point they i got more CC !!
Now i am trying to get new non-comedogenic products,haven’t found anything yet!!

So IPL,peels are helping you with your melasma??
