hi props
i tried retin a..but it burnt my face eventhough it was the lowest strength! but i guess everyone's skin is different and reacts differently. other than that i have also tried Pigmanorm, which is a 5% hydroquinone cream, but that didnt work for me either. and u cant use it for more than 2 mnths as it may cause long term hyper pigmentation. u have to use it for 2 mnths and then stop using it for 2 mnths, and then continue again.. personally i think its useless. other than that ive also used glycolic acid face was 12% and glcolic acid gel 5%, but didnt notice anything with that either. sorry, if it sounds disappointing, but i would rather be honest then make fake success stories up.

To be honest I think you should work both of them into your regime. 1 will make you shed your skin faster and 1 will help remove that skin.

You could try alternating nights.

I would use retin A, it peels the skin very quick, vitamin A is also good for hyperkeritinization as well.
