"i went to the dermatologist 4 weeks ago and he prescribed trentoin 0.05%. i have hormonal acne therefore i have breakouts on my chin, cheeks and jaw. i have mild to moderate acne. tretinoin dries my skin. i use it every other night. i use cerave foaming facewash and cerave am facial lotion. during the first week my skin looked worse. however, i can see the difference in my skin. my skin looks clear and my acne has reduced. the only con to tretinoin is that it dries your skin."
