Can you answer oxx_x’s question about Acne?:
Ok so I ussualy get pretty bad acne before I started my period so I went to the doctor and he perscribed me retin a (.25) and birth control pills. The acne has stoped coming but I figure its because Im done with my pperiod and it ussualy goes away until my next cycle. The retin a hasnt made my face peel at all? Do you think its still working? or i need a stronger dose.

Retin A Acne Treatment
Acne Feedback: as long as there’s nothing wrong, doesnt mean u need to make your face peel, but if it comes back, then u might need a stronger dose:)
Acne Feedback: I actually had been prescribed the same thing. The birth control pills worked for me wonderfully. If the Retin A hasn’t made your face peel, keep on using it. If your skin isn’t breaking out, it’s doing it’s job. Personally, I don’t think you need a stronger dose, it sounds like your doing pretty good!
Good Luck =]
