Re: NWR: retin-a
For your skin? If so I have! I hated it though. It burned the crap out of my skin. It irritated it and made my face so red. I ended up with Accutane. I did that twice. It works!!!!!!!!!!!!

DONT StoP USING It!!!
i originally started with the .025% strength and i saw that it wasnt drying my skin out so she bumped me up to the .05%. Eventually i bared the first few weeks of dry skin and then proceeded to the .1% which i think it the strongest they have. after about 6 to 8 weeks my face finally cleared up!!! i mean i cant find one black head and my hair line was covered in them. My major problem area was my neck and chest. i was wearing turtle necks everyday and now its as if i never had the problem. FH is amazed on how well it worked. THe point is you need to just give it time (i know you dot like to hear that lol).. THE WIATING *****!! trust me ive been there but you wil see results! i now went back to the .05% and use it 3 to maybe 4 times a week.
hope i was able to help

I have used it so many times until..I did Accutane and it worked a miracle on me! But it does take a really long time to work...and Absolutely no no no sun...it will really burn then!

Re: NWR: retin-a
i know a few people who used it for years. it worked really well, but their skin dried out a lot at first (like the first couple of months).
