Purging is real

$10
I’ve been on Retin-a for a month now and my face started peeling when I was on it 2 weeks and now, I’m purging. I can’t wait for this to be over and get my flawless skin soon. I have been using la roche posay facial wash and I love it! I am still using my foundation coz my face just look terrible right now with this pimple popping out like crazy!!!

Hope This Works!

My dermatologist prescribed me with Retin a and I’m excited I hope this works In getting rid of my blemishes and a little bit of Acne scars. Growing up I really have no problem with my face. Not until I got pregnant and I guess it’s the hormone that’s messing up my skin and I got at me after I gave birth it sucks. I’ve been trying a lot of acne medicine and scar removal with no success

I'm pretty sure that you will be pleased with the results. Follow your dr directions. Good luck.
I had the same happen when I had my daughter. I was 25 and had never had issues with my skin before. I dealt with awful acne for about 4 years. Rerun a fixed it within months.
Awesome! I am in my week 2 of using Retin a and so far it’s good. I have acne pop up here and there and I guess I’m in my purging stage. The peeling Is very minimal. So how’s your face now? How long have you been in Retin a?
I use Retin A for year, always use it at night along with Ponds Moisturizer lotion or a good moisturizer to avoid pealing. Sun screen to prevent spots. Good luck
I used it for years. Peeling and purging of toxins happens too. Skin glows after all that passes
