"I have posted early before about my 1st & 2nd week using Retin A 0.025 cream. My 3rd week was much better than my second week, some of my acne stared to calm down and my face felt less bumpy. During this week I started to use the cream 4 times a week because my cheeks were hurting. My 4th week was the most improvement. I started to use the cream every night again since my face had stop hurting. During the 4th week most of my pimples disappeared and my skin felt smoother, I still had some pimples popping up but not as much. Now my cheeks are pretty smooth with a couple pimples but my cheeks are really red from the scars that were left behind from the pimples. I'm hoping they will slowly fade later. Will keep updating!"

"I used to be prescribed epiduo, but my insurance stopped covering it and it became too expensive so they put me on retin-a. All this medication does is dry out my skin, it doesn't even reduce redness or irritation from the acne. I personally have found that witch hazel and basic night serums do more than what I'm prescribed is supposed to do. 0/10 "

"Took this for two months (topical cream) and my face broke out the entire time. Tried to wait it out as much as possible but I have never had worse acne in my entire life. After not using it for about 2 weeks my skin cleared up. I will NEVER take this medication again."

"I started using this 40 years ago for acne. I am now 70. I have no wrinkles on my face and my acne is, of course, gone. I've always used the cream and didn't have much of an issue initially with redness or peeling. At this point, I love the fact that the side effect is no wrinkles."
