WORTH IT$127
I started using tretinoin cream for fine lines and acne yesterday, I can't remember the exact percentage right now but i'll update with that info later. I think it's 0.25. I'm using around my eyes and mouth and I'm determined to stick with it until I see results, so I'm really hoping I do. I had to file an appeal for insurance to cover it but they did.

Hi. I have been on retin A now for nearly 3 months. You may see some redness and very very dry skin. But try to just use it before bedtime and only small amounts to begin with. Also keep yourself and your skin hydrated well with water and a good moisterised.
Good luck. It is worth it x

dont forget spf during the day, your skin will be more sensitive to the sun and get blotched. good luck, let us know when you start getting results

Just started Retin A and hear many different ways to use it. Some feedback would be great. over moisturizer or under?

Try pure organic coconut oil alternating with avocado oil at night 20 min after applying the Retin a.You face does not need chemical filled moisturizers.

I can understand that ,I find applying a moisturizer 20 minutes before your tretinoin helps with the peeling I do every other night make sure to use a moisturizer with a good spf in the day time and be careful not to get to near your eyes and corners of your mouth this stuff is truly amazing I'm 5 months in and I'm really happy with the way my skin is looking , good luck

finally healing
the spot on my incision that was causing problems finally scabbed over and theres almost no pain, just numbness. my stomach looks great, its so much easier to run around without all that floppy skin. totally worth it.

Hey there, thanks for keeping your review updated. I started my Retin-A treatment, and I have a question for you -- you mention that you use Retin-A around your eyes, have you had any problems with that so far?
Welcome to the community. I really look forward to your updates as I am thinking about using Retin-A as well. Are you comfortable sharing before and progress photos with the community?
