paco i wouldnt use bp with retina..unless u use a bp cleanser then spply the retin a. if u use all those things together it wont work. like u could do bp in the day or retin a in the night but putting them together..makes everything dry red and worse

Day 9

My forehead has settled down so I'm just waiting for brown spots to fade.

I'm having some breakouts on the sides of my face, maybe like 3 zits on each side. The good news is that none of them seem major. In fact, since I've started using Retin-A, while the volume of zits seems to be the same, the intensity seems to be lower (i.e., smaller zits instead of big cysts or papules).

Skin is still dry and peeling on the sides of face, where I apply the Retin-A primarily.

I think this is just a war of attrition now where I'll need plain old time to help erase brown spots.

Given this, I'll probably limit my posts to once or twice a week.

Hey Paco I have the same problem with brown spots. I am starting Retin A 0.01 today. I have in terms of spots maybe 1-2 zits active at any one given time but always leave brown spots. I currently have about 10 brown spots. Keep us updated on how Retin A is working and also on how the brown spots are fading!
