Has anyone had any success with this product? I wouldnt say I have acne but do have weird light red spots under the skin and the dr said it was actually mild acne. And I have been prone to random pimples on my face, chest and back. Again this is not bad but still its annoying.
So I got some wash and retin A. When I use them together my face burns so I stopped the wash and only using Retin A...which is supposed to help with wrinkes too. Anyway, now my face is so soooo so so dry. I hate it. Should I give up and just deal with my MINOR issues. Again, these things are minor but they annoy me because I always had clear skin up until last year.

I had great success with RetinA. Did you get the gel or the cream?
One of the things they say is to not apply to your face for 30 minutes after washing your face. This makes a big difference.
Its in a tube and its clearish looking. Thanks for the tip I will try that.

oh wait so your problem is redness? do you have rosacea? theres a cream specifically for that. My mom used to use it, ill get the name for it, supposedly its great
No its not rosacea. Its hardely noticeable unless you get right up in my face. But its just tiny red dots under the skin - sometimes they are worse than other times.
jenna - just curious - but are u on birth control??? From what you explain I actually have the exact same thing - and after a while i discovered that's what it's from...i just deal with it because it's the only side effect i get.

well not rosacea i guess bc that is a more severe case, but if youre dealing with redness, not sure what acne medication will do. You need something specific just for the redness problem. I still have to find out the name of the cleanser but it specifically was for redness

Yes I do get pimples...more than ever. I never got them. They will come in 1-2 at a time and last for a week.
