"stick with this medication. ive never wrote a review before, but seriously i am about 6 months in and am seeing really great results. in the first three months i wanted to give up due to the clusters of huge painful spots of acne on my cheeks. but i kept using tretinoin, along with onexton, and i believe it was around month 4 that the breakouts subsided. i had moderate drying but got a good moisturizer that helped tremendously. like many users have stated, the trick is to stick with it, and also use an antibacterial medication with it as well. at about 6 months i am thrilled to say that i do not have a single active blemish!"
