“3 tca peels for adult acne”

I got a series of 3 TCA peels over the summer. I did it for adult acne. I had cysts, whiteheads, blackheads. My skin improved 80% and is still improving.

I keep thinking retin a is thinning my skin but my derm insists that it has the opposite effect. Because I panic and see weird dents, i end up decreasing my use of retin a or stop all together.

I've been now using retin a for 4 weeks without stopping and i have seen a great improvement. my skin is healing and its really a miracle. i answered my own question and found that retin a is thickening my skin. I no longer feel anxiety about my skin. it looks fantastic.
