My dr adviced me to put retin-a for red marks I have for acne. I saw so many good reviews about it here so I tried.
Perhaps I put too much-but this was one of the worse choices I made-my skin became thin. I have huge pores-I never had those before. I used to be tan-now I am white in my face-and my face can not tan-all my body does get tan except for my face. Scars are much more noticeable.
Does anyone has sugestions what to do to cancel out the damage? to get back the texture I had before using the retin a? It seems like my skin barrier is gone)-:
Hey this is just a suggestion but I'd think you should try to rebuild the skin barrier. Products with linoleic acids or good oils...maybe mix some sea buckthorn oil with jojoba oil or grape seed oil. And eat antioxidants. I was scared to try retinoids. I think Otc ones are strong enough prescription is prob too strong.
