You have to be very careful about costmetics, and washes. They need to be gentle and not have any other acne treatments in the ingrediants. I found my skin is very peely. My skin definitely has less pimples. I am going to keep using it.
Works better than anything else I've tried. Don't expect it to clear your skin up right away. You have to be patient: I was blotchy and peeling for a while before my skin began to look better. You have to stick with it. STAY OUT OF THE SUN.

Was somewhat helpful. I read a lot of information about how it BURNS or leaves your skin reddish. I think that my face is way too oily. It has never burned or turn my skin red. I don't have to avoid the sun. But most people do, and should. The cream and gel both worked the same for me. It was somewhat effective at preventing the severity of outbreaks. More effective that OTC medicines.

However be aware: most people hate it and it dries them out TOO MUCH. I would recommend this only if you have oily skin and large pores! Also stick with it. Isotretinoin (accutane) take a couple of weeks to see results. Tretinoin (Retin-A) is the same, at least for me.

It seems like those with the best success are those with nodular acne, or acne that causes small dents in the skin. In other words if you have the occasional break out and nothing else, don't use this stuff.
useful for acne control Retin A may cause extensive peeling and sensitive looking skin unless used sparingly, mixed in with carrier moisturizers. It should be used on a regular basis even when acne is not present, as a preventative. Its combined use with benzoyl peroxide in limited amounts can also lighten acne scars, important to self esteem and the ego.

Tretinoin - Clears and Dries My Skin Effectively I have used tretinoin-based topical medicines for about three years. The first treatment, and the one I have used the longest, is a topical alcoholic solution called Aknemycin Plus. It contains 0.025% tretinoin and 4% erythromycin in a self-sealing glass bottle with integral self-steralizing gauze pad applicator. I belive it is only available in the UK at present.

I can't quite remember if my acne did worsen at the beginning of treatment, but after all these years tretinoin has been the only treatment that has kept my skin in reasonable condition.

I recently moved on to Retin-A (self-prescribed) as my doctor wanted me to discontinue all topical medicines while I has receiving oral erythromycin. A lifetime of experience with my own skin warned me of the likely consequences of such an action - a massive outbreak that would take months to contain. So I continued with the retinoids regardless.

Since Retin-A is twice as potent as Aknemycin Plus, I expected a temporary worsening of my acne, which does not appear to have materialised.

I also use Retin-A in combination with Quinoderm (benzoyl peroxide/potassium quinolone sulphate)cream to kill any antibiotic-resistant bacteria and to augment the action of Retin-A, as it posesses no antibacterial properties.

I find that a dab of Quinoderm also seems to quickly reduce the size of the spot and promotes rapid healing and vanishing of all traces of the spot. I have just started using Clearasil Ultra-Rapid Action Cream - containing the active ingredients hydrogen peroxide and salicylic acid. This too, seems to be very effective for treating individual breakthrough spots. Possibly even more tolerable and convenient than benzoyl peroxide.
Traumatizing I hate this stuff. Hate. Hate. Hate. It made my sking raw and scaly. I had so much dry skin along with the acne make-up looked freakish when I tried to apply it. I used to take strips of shipping tape and put pieces on my face. Then I'd rip if off so it would take most of the dry skin with it. Then make up could begin. I would do this everyday before going to middle school. Needless to say I spent three years never looking a person in the face because they would see how I ugly I am. Only plus to this cream is I found an old tube of it after I had my son. It helped very well with stretch marks.
took a while to clear up, but after a few weeks i saw dramatic results! love it!
Too putrid to stand, too difficult to apply After complaining to my doctor that the bp he prescribed was not woring, he prescribed tretinoin. He said it might make things worse for the fist few days, but my skin would be clear within the month. I had gone back to school weeks earlier.

While it did make things worse after only one day, I was not clear-skinned after a month. Just pimply, and sunburnt. Not a fun experience.

He said that he could increase the dosage - that it might help, but I refrained. My main trouble-spot, my back, was difficult to apply the medication to. Also, the scent which would linger on my fingers after applying the stuff was unbearable, and would not wash off.

It didn't work for me, and I didn't have the stomache to experiment further; but I may be an abnormality. I've seen it work wonders for friends.
This worked for me. I had moderate but persistent adult onset acne. I was hesitant because of the warning that my acne may get worse. I started 1x every other night, then increased to every night. I think this lessened that part of the treatment. I have to be mindful of moisturizing or my face will get dry and peely. And I don't use any other acne drugs, just a good oil free cleanser. I have beautiful skin now. I still get a pimple here and there (5 a month or so). I can't pick them...my skin is tender and will tear. No waxing...no picking...moisturize, and be consistent and you can succeed on this drug. I reccommend it highly.
This was the only cream that has ever worked, although it took a few weeks to notice a real differance. I tried pro active aswell but after a couple of weeks with no real change I sorta gave up and stopped using it consistantly. I had to stop using retin-a when I became pregnant, and that was very upseting. not only did my acne come back but it came back with vengeance. If anyone has used product while breastfeeding let me know I what to get back on it asap!! oh also you CANNOT get your eyebrows waxed..at all! they tell you its ok if you aviod putting the cream in the surrounding areas for a few weeks..total lie that you'll regret as you apply a load of aloe to your raw skin.

Drug Uses

Retin-A is often used to improve the appearance and texture of the skin. It produces a mild, superficial peel of the epidermis. Retin-A has effects on the both the superficial (epidermis) and the deep (dermis) parts of the skin. The major benefit is to decrease the effects of sunlight caused aging by increasing the speed with which the surface cells are replaced.

How to use

Apply a thin layer to affected area once a day at bedtime. Use a gauze pad or cotton swab to apply the liquid. Wash your hands immediately after use. Using this medication more frequently or in excessive amounts does not improve the results, but may increase side effects. Avoid applying near the eyes, mouth, or open cuts since this medication can irritate sensitive skin. Acne may appear to worsen when the medication is first used; continue therapy. It may take three to six weeks before the full benefits of this medication are seen. Use mild soap when washing your face. Do not wash face excessively. Abrasive soaps, cleansers, medicated creams or lotions can increase skin irritation. Consult your doctor or pharmacist about their use. Use other acne preparations with caution while using this medication.

Drug Class and Mechanism

Tretinoin is a derivative of vitamin A. Topical Tretinoin is used in the treatment of mild to moderate acne and on skin that has been damaged by excessive exposure to the sun. Tretinoin irritates the skin and causes the cells of the skin to grow (divide) and die more rapidly, that is, it increases the turnover of cells. The number of layers of cells in the skin actually is reduced. In patients with acne, new cells replace the cells of existing pimples, and the rapid turnover of cells prevents new pimples from forming. By a similar mechanism, Tretinoin can reduce some wrinkles, areas of darkened skin, and rough areas of skin, all of which occur in sun-damaged skin. In patients with sun-damaged skin, improvements in the skin usually are seen within the first 3 to 4 weeks of treatment. Brown spots begin to fade after six to eight weeks. Wrinkles decrease or disappear after three to six months. Following application to the skin, a minimal amount of drug is absorbed into the body. The FDA approved topical Tretinoin in 1971.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose, use it as soon as remembered; do not use if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not "double-up" the dose to catch up.

Storage

Store at room temperature away from sunlight. Keep this and all medications out of the reach of children.
Warnings/Precautions

This medication can increase sensitivity to sunlight, wind and cold. Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and sunlamps. Wear protective clothing and use an effective sunscreen. This medication should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. It is not known if Retin-A appears in breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Possible Side Effects

Due to the possibility of irritation, it is advisable to begin treatment on a small area of skin. Exposure to the sun or to ultraviolet rays causes additional irritation. During treatment, such exposure should be avoided as much as possible or a sun block should be used. During the first weeks of treatment there may be an apparent worsening of the problem. Such a reaction is perfectly normal because small cysts deep within the skin are being eliminated at an accelerated rate. This medication can increase sensitivity wind and cold. Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and sunlamps. Wear protective clothing and use an effective sunscreen. If any ingredient should cause hypersensitivity, discontinue use.
