"i am a 17 year old girl, an acne sufferer for nearly 8 years now. this is the end of week 1 on tretinoin 0.025 and my face is peeling and itchy but i know to expect worse breakouts before the better results. my problem area for acne, however, has not been my face in five years. it&#039;s always been my back and shoulders. while i&#039;m noticing a fade in scars already, i&#039;m going to keep an eye on it. i wish i&#039;d been prescribed a moisturizer or at least told to find one.
