I believe I used too much Retinol cream on my face, with a moisturizer and woke up two days later with large, very tight and dray red areas on my cheeks. This is a photo, with makeup on, but you can still see the redness and swelling. The redness is VERY prominent without makeup.
I have these tiny bumps on the sides of my face and my forehead and they have been here for months now- They don't hurt like acne pimples do and are very small. I use obagi gentle cleaner and even tried a scrub/ retina/ and Tazorac..etc. These bumps look terrible when I put makeup on, it makes them more noticeable but I don't feel comfortable not wearing makeup.
Hello. I have had a birth mark on my left cheek since my birth. It has no cause that I know of. The skin is even and it only appears as discoloration. I am 29 years of age and have hidden in through make up. But you can imagine how it would feel to have something so big on the face. My dermatologist has recommended retin-a 0.05% for topical use to lighten it over time. Do you think it's going to help or is it a lost cause?
