I use to have beautiful skin using retinol...
WORTH IT$85
I use to have beautiful skin using retinol products. The last product I was using was strivectin and then they changed their formula which caused my skin to get deep painful acne. I stopped using that and just continued to use my glycolic acid face wash by Mario badescu and using my body lotion on my face. I tried proactive, trying to get rid of the acne. I eventually forgot about all the good products I had used before strivectin (like SkinCeuticals retinol). It may have been a year or two since I've used anything good on my face. My skin had cleared up from major acne, but then I removed my iud. Holy moly! Skin from hell. My husband only uses Arbonne. Hes 38 and looks soooo young. He gave me his acne spot treatment but it didn't work on me. I bought clear start by dermalogica and that helped some. Finally, I got tired of messing up my skin from acne and decided to break down and buy something that I knew would help my face for sure. I waited so long because I can't really afford anything right now. I started the obagi tretinoin .1 cream and the entire arbonne re9 line on the same day. So it's been a week and my skin looks a million times better already. I also had nose surgery, so I'm using the before and after photos from that since I didn't take just skin photos

Retin-a is the only thing that saved my skin from acne. Obaji is amazing for taking care of scars, uneven skin tone and what not. But I found that using retin-a by itself does the same thing, it does wonders. Has for 2 years now. And it's cheaper than using it with obaji... just a thought :-) Good luck!

Is the retin-a prescription? What strength

Just wanted to add if going to a derm is not an option, you can order retin A from India on eBay. It is quite cheap just takes a while to arrive, and mine was freshly made and expires in two years. Just another idea if you want to get creative :)

Loving my skin
My skin has been peeling slightly and more sensitive than normal. It's only been a couple weeks, but I don't see myself ever not using this product. My skin looks completely different
