I use Treclin gel but still have remaining clogged pores. What can I add to my regime to carry on seeing further improvements?

Asked By:RSMember18667 in Portsmouth, GB

I have been using Treclin Gel at night for over a year (prescribed by doctor). It has improved my acne & clogged pores a lot, however, I still have some congestion on my chin - tiny blackheads and tiny little white dots that you can only see up close but I can also feel them - like tiny bits of gravel in the skin. I have read BHAs can help and was considering introducing them into my regime in the morning. Also any advice on moisturizer with SPF for clog prone skin would be great.

The goal with Retin A is to push through this flaking period and work up to daily use to achieve consistent, even skin cell turnover. If you experience excessive or stubborn flaking you can use an adjunct exfoliative product such as Obagi’s Exfoderm Forte to hasten the p...

Can using Retin-A on the neck minimize the size of a turkey neck?
Kimberly Finder, MD says:

I routinely recommend using a retinoid on the neck, but it's not going to make a turkey neck better. It will help with tone and texture, but it won't  tighten you. If you have a turkey neck, go to see an experienced physician who is well-versed in the cosmetic options that are available for y...
