Overall: Low adverse Reactions Healing Power: No dependency problems: Cost-Benefit: Sex: F Age: 28 Time Taken: 4 months Reason: Acne Date: 26 April 2007 Side Effects Peeling, Burning(when applied) Additional Thoughts Retin A definetly works but it peels your skin TERRIBLY!! I use & recommend using Aquaphor. The peeling definetly subsides after a couple of weeks. Overall: Low adverse Reactions Healing Power: No dependency problems: Cost-Benefit: Sex: F Age: 45 Time Taken: 3 months Reason: skin damage from sun and acne Date: 1 May 2007 Side Effects peeling, flaking skin Additional Thoughts Great stuff - after the peeling part (just went to every other day use - no problem with that) the skin looked smoother, clearer, and better than in the last 10 years. Between this and a good sunscreen the skin will look great for years to come. Overall: Low adverse Reactions Healing Power: No dependency problems: Cost-Benefit: Sex: F Age: 40 Time Taken: 6 months Reason: acne Date: 12 May 2007 Side Effects dryness, peeling, redness, acne was worse and never really got better Additional Thoughts I used this for quite a while and my acne never really got better. I found that 2.5 benzoyl peroxide works 100 times better. It did however help my wrinkles. Overall: Low adverse Reactions Healing Power: No dependency problems: Cost-Benefit: Sex: F Age: 25 Time Taken: 3 years Reason: Acne Date: 21 June 2007 Side Effects Redness and a little peeling just in the beginning, then stopped Additional Thoughts Tried every cream, this is my fave!! I use it every night, the trick is to use a "pea size" amount and thinly spread it on problem areas. People always use too much and thats why it "burns". I have very clear skin now!! So just tiny amounts in the evening, dont use in the morning since youll be out in the sun. I also use Cetaphil to keep moisturized. Overall: Low adverse Reactions Healing Power: No dependency problems: Cost-Benefit: Sex: F Age: 21 Time Taken: 2.5 weeks Reason: acne Date: 1 July 2007 Side Effects dry tender skin with some peeling around infected areas Additional Thoughts I am only approaching my third week but I can tell it is working. A couple of days into it my acne got REALLY BAD but its starting to subside. My face feels a little tender but the peeling really hasnt been that bad and I usually have very sensitive skin. I am still getting little pimples but no cystic acne has popped up in the past few days.
