I have a question for anyone who has used retin-a micro. How do you apply it? Do you put a pea size amount on each part of your face (forehead, cheeks and chin) or do you put a pea size amount and dab it on each part of the face?
 
Since no one has replied to your question,i thought i would.I went to the website and it said to use about a pea size,and dab it on your cheeks,chin,and forehead.Hope this helps.I was on it about 3 yrs back,had a pretty good experience with it.Went off of it ,and went on differin.It kept my acne managable for awhile.Then the differin started not to work as well.I switched over to retin-a micro,been on it for about a week.If you have any questions,i'll be glad to answer if i can .Take care.
 
Thanks for answering my question. When it says to take a pea size and dab it, does it mean to use a pea size amount for the whole face or does it mean to use a pea size amount for each part of the face?
 
Healthy.J, I use a pea size amount total on my whole face, not pea size on each part of my face.
 
I wanted to use retin-a but did you know it has the potential to harm the liver? I already have elevated liver enzymes and didn't want to risk it.
