Retin -A

[Mickey88]

Hey, i had sort of minor acne just around my mouth and a little bit on my cheeks i decided to go on retin-a but it seems to have made everything worse. I know they say it gets worse before it gets better but ive been on this stuff for almost a month and my acne is now becoming almost severe getting cysts and stuff that i never got in the past, my face hurts 24/7. Is it meant to make you look pale and dry aswell?

How often are you using it? I think you can back off and use it less often until your skin improves. Then slowly re-introduce it again. Give it 3 months before deciding whether it's for you or not.
