"tretinoin 0.025 helped me tremendously. 1 hour after cleansing i put it on, no peeling. took 2 months to see results. first tone of the skin improved, then smaller and smaller break outs. i had like lumps under my skin before. if skin dries too much i use all natural products like shea butter to moisturise. works. now after 6 months of bi-daily use no acne!!!! whohoo! did not think a cream would work for a severe acne i had. i don&#039;t even need the stronger version 0.05%. skin is plump and not dry. scars begin to fade, too."
