Wow! I've literally completed a year on tretinoin and still going strong... Didn't think I would make it this far. Now my acne is totally under control and my skin has improved awesomely. Will add pics next week and thanks to all for the support you have given me during this journey till now, and I'm proud that I've completed one year on this journey

Well another month has gone away and there is a lot of improvement in my skin. Also the pimples have reduced to a great extent, and there are times when I am fully clear, but still some days come when I still get a breakout. Here are some photos for this month - 

Well 3 months have passed by since the last update... So here is the update... I'm fully clear. Just have 2 to 3 pimples per month on cheeks mostly and it is due to my bad eating habits... So I'm mostly satisfied with my progress... I'll add some photos soon.

Wel, it's been 4 months and till the end of November, I was fully clear... couldn't complain. But now, as the winter sets in, my acne is returning. I haven't changed anything in my routine, but added a moisturizer, which I use every winters to prevent drying up of the skin. Feeling like this will go but I'm feeling a little down now duty to this. Here are some photos..... 

Yep... So I'm officially back, I'm alive, doing great, haven't had a breakout since the past year and a half. I get around 3 to 4 pimples a month, hardly noticeable. I remain clear most of the times and life's going great. There are some days when I just cannot believe how far I've come. One thing I've learnt is that you need to just hang on and learn to wait. Time makes everything right. I'm still using the same tretinoin 0.05% and nothing else. I wash my face with whatever is available, eg soap, face wash, etc. Nothing special. I just apply tretinoin before bed. Now, I'm thinking of upgrading the concentration of tretinoin to 0.1% (because why not), but still I'm not sure. Everything is fine on 0.05%, but I'll probably upgrade it to 0.1% in the coming months.
