Guest guest Posted February 28, 2002 Report Share Posted February 28, 2002 I used Retin-A to treat my acne 10 years ago. After I started using the gel, my face turned into reddish dark within 2 weeks. Since then I have had red face till now. I think Retin-A is the culprit. Anyone has similar experience?

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 retin-a WILL dry out your skin. I am sure that you are having to use a wash that has Benzol Peroxide. That alone is probably a cause of redness. It drys out the skin very much so. That is pretty much how it kills bacteria. It stops oxygen flow, and kills the bacteria on skin. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
