Asked By:madison79 in Burlington, NC

Ive just started using Retin-A for acne and was wondering if it could cuz breakouts until Im used to using it. Ive heard about the possibitly of causing dry skin and flaking but concerned about the breakouts. I know its not a miracle and wont see improvement right away just so im not shocked if I notice more breakouts than usual. I appreciate any answers and thanks in advance!
