"i&#039;ve been using the 0.05 percent (worked my way up from 0.025) for almost 2 years now. i started off with it because my usually very clear skin started developing small spots that just weren&#039;t going away. they weren&#039;t very visible but i have grown up with people complimenting my skin all the time and to me, the small spots felt like a blow to my self-confidence. my doctor recommended the cream to me. within 2 weeks of usage , my skin cleared up. there was some peeling but that went away after my skin adjusted to it. anyway, i continued with the use for almost 2 years now because my skin has never looked this beautiful and glowy as it does now."
