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.
Ive been using a tretinoin gel (0.05%) at night for acne as well as aczone or dapsone gel (60 g) in the morning and doxycycline. Ive been applying these topical gels for almost 8 months. I recently ran out of my tretinoin gel and am waiting on a prescription that will not be filled until a week from now. My sister gave me her tretinoin cream (0.025%). Can I switch over? I am concerned about clogging my pores and breaking out. I am an oily skin type. Thanks
Hi, i'm using tretinoin .05% prescribed by my doctor and at the same time benzOyl peroxide facial wash. I have some clogged pores around my jaw and neck that's why my derma told me to use tretinoin every day but today is my 5th day and i'm experiencing redness, itchiness, red patches and red bumps. Is this normal? should i stop the bp and continue the tretinoin? I'm scared that If I stop the tretition, it might take so long for it to work. I have this clogged pores for a yr. i'm so sick of it. Pls help
I am a long time user of retin A, I use it mainly to control my acne and clogged pores. 12 days out from fat transfer to the face and I see my pores getting clogged again, shd I go back to retin A? Would it increase swelling and would too much prolonged swelling jeopardize the end results of fat transfer? If I squeeze pimples and blackheads would it also affect fat take? Thanks!
I got prescribed Retin A cream 0.05% I've been using it every night now for 3 days, it made my right cheek break out with couple white heads, I never really get them like that...I keep hearing that there's a ingredient in the cream that clogs your pores and makes you break out worse and that the gel is best for breakout...should I stop using it or stick with it, Thanks in advanced
I am a 24 yr old. I have been taking 10mg Accutane and Androcur for 6 months (currently tapering off). I still have scarring and large pores which fill easily and bad texture. Out of everything I have researched I am considering starting RetinA for clogged pores and skin tone, and dermaroller for collagen production to fill in my pores. I am worried that retinA will make my pores appear larger and permanently damage my skin. Will these help? microdermabrasion last year made my skin much worse
