"(female/moderate acne) i have suffered from acne since i was 12. this summer has been the worst for my face. i have acne all over my forehead and my cheeks. in the beginning of the summer i had small tiny bumps all over my forehead and my cheeks, that later became bigger. i&#039;ve used many, many products on my face that worked quite a bit to not working at all. then in the beginning to july i started using retin-a 0.025 cream. the first week showed great results on my forehead my forehead is now clear, but my cheeks became worse. this second week that i am currently in is what i guess is the purge, my cheeks are entirely red and covered in acne. i don&#039;t want to go outside and my cheeks really hurt. will keep updating, not losing hope."
