| Pros | It helped a lot to clear my acne. Also it helped fade some post-acne red marks. |
|---|---|
| Cons | The side effects: it caused my skin to peel and felt burning but they only lasted about a week. Also it made my skin look red. |
| Bottom line | I've used Retin-A Micro (.025%) it for about 4 months along with Duac Gel. It helped with my major breakouts and now i have just a few zits. It's better if youget the lower concentration if you do get it so you'll have minimal side effects. Plus Micro seems to work better so ask your doctor about that. i got mine for free b/c of insurance. |

| Pros | I think my skin looks healthier, clearer, and just nice overall |
|---|---|
| Cons | cost, even with insurance it's still about $45 dollars for me. and, I'm still awaiting the much-hyped & dreaded initial breakout |
| Bottom line | I've only been using this for two weeks, but so far, so good. I started using it every third day, to decrease irritation, and am now moving to every other day. I've had minimal pealing/flaking, which is alleviated by gently exfoliating with a washcloth and using moisturizer. I must admit, I used Retin-A micro before, but didn't stick with it long enough to see results, and I'm a compulsive picker, which makes your skin look bad regardless of what products you're using. Now I'm using Tretinoin cream, which so far is not as irritating as the Retin-A micro. I plan to stick with it this time for at least 6 months to see real results of clear & smooth skin & less blackheads! Plus, this also helps peel off the top layers of sun-damaged skin, and prevents wrinkles-- perfect for those of us living in the desert! |

| Pros | It did not make my skin dry like my pharmacist suggested it may. It is easy to use and has replaced my moisturizer. It makes my skin less cloudy. Black heads are easier to extract. |
|---|---|
| Cons | This product makes my skin almost oily, but more fresh looking than before. I worry about applying such a chemical laden product on my face. This product has increased the number of blackheads. |
| Bottom line | Still waiting for this product to start making my acne better! |
| Recommended | Yes |

| Pros | easy to use. |
|---|---|
| Cons | burning, dryness of the skin, embarrassment! |
| Bottom line | I have used this product for about a week. It seems as though my skin has gotten worse. The product left dry, flaky, red patches where it was used. Can you say embarrassing? I am going to stop using this product. |

| Pros | clears mild acne.. |
|---|---|
| Cons | VERY DRY AT FIRST COUPLE OF WEEKS! then MAKES YOUR FACE OILY!!! use sunscreen and have a good moisturizer. |
| Bottom line | i used it a little over a month but i still had really bad acne. i wanted to continue but the dryness and overall outcome was simply not what i wanted. It cleared out my whiteheads but not cystic acne... i guess if you stick with it for a while it will clear up, however it was not the case for me. good luck. |
