"i&#039;ve dealt with mild hormonal acne for the last 3 years. i&#039;ve tried everything but nothing seemed to prevent my breakouts. my doctor prescribed tretinoin cream and after doing some online research i was terrified of &quot;purging.&quot; within a week of use i could tell that it was working. i had minimal redness and peeling. this drug has improved the overall tone of my skin also. it&#039;s been 3 months now and i haven&#039;t had any purging. this stuff is seriously amazing. my skin looks better then it has in years."
