Blotchy skin from Differin cream?

Hi Everyone! I started Differin cream about 2 weeks ago using every other night-and my skin is slightly red, burning, blotchy and I have a lot of small bumps. Is this normal and has anyone else had the same experience? I'm just not sure whether to stick with it or not. Thanks!

What does you initial break out look like?

Could anyone tell me what there initial break out look like while on differin gel? My forehead look a bit bumpy/lumpy and red. I have been using it for two weeks every other night. It's hard to tell if it's doing what it's supposed as the first week, my skin seemed to clear up but now it's starting look worse. Thank you everyone!!

Can Zinc contribute to cysts?

Hi everyone, I started taking optizinc (Sources Natural) last week for acne-I started developing small cysts that will not go away-I have 3 plus 1 developing on my temple. I rarely get cysts, so I'm a little confused. My skin looks smooth except for those Cysts (I have been taking Aleve and icing them regulary but they won't go away!) Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!
