"i&#039;m a male 29 and have used retin-a micro gel 0.04% for 3 years now. i&#039;ve tried everything from proactive, accutane and over the counter medicines. nothing helped me like retin-a micro gel. sure there was an initial breakout in the beginning but now my skin is so smooth, acne free, healthy and bright that i don&#039;t even care about the initial breakout. after 3 months of use i am acne free thanks to this medication. i will not stop using it."
