I used 0.01% tretinoin for my acne and it worked wonders but I suppose it also gave me almost whole face of pebblestone scarring due to overproduction. I lowered my dose to 0.025% and use it more sparingly (I can't stop using it since if I don't use it 3 days I get couple of pimples on the 4th day).
