    Thanks megan! Im on week 3 I broke out a little, but I think that's what's supposed to happen. My skin is irritated around my mouth, but im going to stick with it also. I feel like it will be worth the wait. My friends mother has been using it for 15 years and she has amazing skin. She doesn't have a single wringle on her face

    Misty, when you say a while... how long is a while?

    Yes, I just started using it 4 days ago. I don't have bad acne, im using it for skin rejuvination and anti aging. I do have very mild acne. My skin was totally clear after 2 days of using retin A. However the third day my corners of my mouth got insanely chapped. I wasnt aware that you are not supposed to get it close to your lips and corners of your nose. Luckily I am a stay at home mom and I was able to nourish my face with lotions and creams all day yesterday. My corners are still chapped, but way better. My skim just started peeling and is red and blotchy in some places. Also I think I might start breaking out (which is part of the 2 week introduction process). Hopefully I don't look like a freak on thanksgiving :) have you had any clearing up since?

    I think you are supposed to apply retin a before your moisturizer. That could be the reason your skin hasn't cleared up. Apply your retin a then wait 20-30minutes ans then apply your moisturizer.
