"my experience with retin-a has been a life saver! i have used it for at least 20 years. it has helped with my acne problems over time... but it also helped soften &amp; vanish much scarring. i was also amazed at how fast it would help my lesions heal. 

it was recommended to me years ago by a dermatologist along with an aqua glycolic face wash. ( you get over the counter at the pharmacy only). 

my only complaint is how the price just went way up.... i was paying $33 and i went to pick up my prescription the other day and it went up to $79! and that was with a pharmacy coupon. eeeek!  i will continue to buy it... it saved my life!!"
