"hi everyone, i have had oily skin and acne since i hit puberty at 9 years old. i am now 39. it doesn&#039;t help that i also have keratosis pilaris, resulting in clogged pores on my face, arms, chest, and back. i am able to keep my body skin pretty smooth by using a 10% glycolic acid lotion  daily. the best for my face is retin a micro .1%. i see a lot of reviews here where people are ready to give up after a few days, a few weeks, or even a few months. i&#039;m sorry to tell you, but you will not see maximum results with retin a until about 7-10 months of regular use. you will go to hell and back several times during the process, but it&#039;s worth it. suck it up, buttercup. you will also look much younger than your actual age. bonus."
