Asked By:Cruz_323 in Los Angeles, CA

I got prescribed Retin A cream 0.05% I've been using it every night now for 3 days, it made my right cheek break out with couple white heads, I never really get them like that...I keep hearing that there's a ingredient in the cream that clogs your pores and makes you break out worse and that the gel is best for breakout...should I stop using it or stick with it, Thanks in advanced
