If u are about to start ask your doctor how many applications should I apply a day, if they say 2 say can I start I start with 1 and build up to 2. Ask them how it works and what to expect on first few weeks. Hello all,

Used for 9 months and never had any skin problems since. Best thing ever if you are patient. Also it is good to use a moisturizer in the morning after if you are overly sensitive. Anything really (pure aloe,olive oil, natural types of products with either). I mixed aloe liquid and a small amount of olive oil in a bottle of plain old lotion and it worked great for me. Olive oil makes it ever so soft but leaves you feeling oily but aloe has no drawbacks whatsoever. consider using it only at night right before bed. it basically weakens your skins natural resistance to light/radiation as a side effect.

I started using retin a because of pigmented marks and mild acne. My skin is still in the purging stage because I tried everything on my skin! I hope that it gets better to where I don't need to wear make-up anymore to coverup pimples. I am breaking out really bad though, and I am not the kind of girls that thinks that one or two pimples is bad, I have like twenty or more but I am hoping and praying that it will work soon!!!

When you're in your 30s and 40s you should celebrate every glorious zit! I always like to say that acne is a sign of youth. When you’re in your 30s and 40s you should celebrate every glorious zit!
