chococat123 0 Share Posted November 7, 2007 So I'm considering switching from the cream form to gel form, since the cream form has a pore clogging ingredient.How drying is the gel form?Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

acne_battle 6 Share Posted November 12, 2007 um, its supposed to be drying when you first start using it. Thast a side effect of the drug Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Siouxsie 7 Share Posted November 12, 2007 It took about 2 weeks or so for my skin to adjust to the cream, which gave me some initial dryness.I switched to the gel with no problem....no initial dry period or anything. Probably because my skin is already used to the retin-a.I really like it so far. It's not clogging my pores like the cream seemed to; the tiny red bumps I was getting are clearing up. It absorbs much faster too & doesn't feel greasy. I don't find it any more drying, but I have oily skin & I also always make sure to moisturize well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

acneate 0 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I've been on the gel for 1.5 month and my skin is still peeling a lot. How long does it take before the peeling stops? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
