Tretinoin
acne
"I'll be honest. It works great to smooth out texture, fade red pigmentation, and gradually diminish scarring. But for my acne, it does absolutely nothing. And I've taken it before and after Accutane for a year, in both gel and cream form at varying dosages. And still nothing. The oily, bumpy sandpaper-like texture on my forehead since my moderate-severe acne days as a teenager hasn't improved at all. No effect on cysts and pimples, just the complexion. To be fair, many medications didn't work on me, not even Accutane. So try if you want, but it just wasn't successful on me and this is my second time reviewing this product. Luckily my acne naturally became mild as I got older so it makes no difference if I stop taking it at this point."
