“3 TCA Peels for Adult Acne”
Worth It
Spent: $300 in New York City, NY
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.
Updated on Oct 27, 2009:
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.
What happens if I start retin a for 2-3 weeks, then stop for 2-3 weeks, then start back up again for 4 weeks or until my derm says to stop? Is it bad for my skin that I took a break from using retin a? Will it affect the healing process? How long should I be using retin a after a tca peel?This review is the subjective opinion of a RealSelf member and not of RealSelf, Inc.
