That's what retin a does. Expect at least half of your closed comedones to come to the surface. Please give your regimen at least 3 month before you give up. Closed comedones are extreamly stubborn and take time to go away! It always gets worse before it gets better when treating closed comedones.

Trust me just give it time. The skin that is clear looks great and even!

lol I just sent u a message..thanks for responding...its just so hard to stay on this regimen...but I guess if u think its the best option. I will try to stay on it longer

did u ever try a bha wash?

what is bha wash?

You have to stick it out for retin A unfortunately, thing get worse before they get better, luckily for you, it doesnt seem to be a bad breakout

I agree with the other posters. You have to give th topical time. It's going to cause a purge before it clears unfortunately. I think the retin a will work great for you just stick with it for atleast 3 months!

what is bha wash?

beta hydroxy acid containing washes.primarily SALICYLIC ACID WASHES.

Retin - a never worked for my skin it made its so much more worse and I used it for about 2 months but couldn't bear the breakout any more so just stopped it. Check out my topic I found success with some pretty basic products.

hi priyankaa..wow your skin looks great now. im wondering if I could use the salicylic face wash in the morning and retin a at night...what do u think?
