Love my Retin-A (Tretinoin) 0.05% Cream

ORIGINAL POST

I've been using the generic tretinoin 0.05% cream...

WORTH IT$100

I've been using the generic tretinoin 0.05% cream since February and I LOVE it. My perscription insurance covered most of the cost since it was a script from my dermatologist. The first couple of weeks were touch and go with all the flaking and sensitivity, but it has been totally worth it. My skin has never looked better! I had a brown circle on the middle of neck from sun damage and now it is completely gone!!

Thats great! Do you use anything for skin?, cleanser, toner, etc.?

thanks

Yes, I have a whole regime at night time. First gentle non-oil stripping cleanser (Neova Radiant Cleanser), then toner (Neutrogena Alcohol-Free), then apply Retin-A, under eye cream, squaline oil, then night time moisturizer to seal it all in.
I'm at week 2 using Tretinoin 0.025% and my skin is very sensitive and dry and looks patchy in color now from the dryness, I think. Did you experience this, too? At what week did you start seeing improvement in your skins appearance?
