"i am 16 years old and i suffered from acne since i was about 12. i have a very special type of acne. its very tiny and form in clusters and never come to a head. i had this all over my forehead and cheeks. they would look worse under some lighting and looked awful under makeup. they gave my skin a sandpaper feel. i also got the occasional pimple. i was prescribed this medication by my doctor . i was given a 0.05 tretinoion. my first month was awful. i got the purging and all the pimples were coming to a head. after a couple of weeks my skin was starting to become smooth and healthy! don&#039;t give up on this drug! one recommendation is to keep it up! don&#039;t stop!!"
