Skin Care Review: Retin A (for acne)

by wendy, singapore singapore

Rating
Excellent

Benefits
treats acne extremely well, minimises, lightens acne scar

Drawbacks
skin becomes more sensitive, irritated easily, some dry patches esp near lips, nose

Details
I suffered from severed acne close to 15 years and have tried most acne cream and gel without much effect.

I have to give credit to retin A which really help to curb my acne problem. When used together with roaccutane, my skin was flawless without any breakout. I stopped taking roaccutane for fear of any unknown side effects but continues with retin a application.

Though I still get occasional acne and my skin has become much more sensitive, overall, I feel that the benefits have much exceeded the side effects.

In addition, I noticed that it helps to reduce oiliness, prevent pore enlargement and lighten post acne scars.

Conclusions
Overall, considered quite a performer. Greatly beneficial to severe acne sufferer.
