Been using Retin-A for 10 years now and its made a HUGE improvement on my skin but recently started breaking out with cystic acne and my derm had to add mondox to my regimen. So far so good im hoping the cystic acne will go away soon

Worked well but caused dryness and ugly embarrassing peeling of the skin on my face

Dries my face out horribly and makes me red. I still break out.

works very well
Working / Worked
Dries out skin fast and makes it more sensitive but does help with excess oil and cystic acne. Takes longer than expected. Can make skin flake off and look scaley.
Working / Worked
it works really good but you have to give it time and you have to be willing to put up with the initial peeling,redness,and your skin worsening for the firts 2-3 months.

I still use it. I like it for acne & fine lines. Helps clear pores.
