Splouge69 2 Share Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) So ive been using Trentinoin .025% CREAM for a while (11 weeks). i havent noticed any difference in amount of acne. it just makes me get a LOT of tiny whiteheads. ive since learned that the cream can be pore clogging. (It also made my skin bleached white after continued use.)(wtf?) should i quit it? i have moderate acne. lots of scarring. should i quit the trentinoin? AM: Cetaphil antibacterial [bar] wash Nutrogena moisturizer for sensative skin some wierd sulfer perscription treatment works pretty well PM Cetaphil-- Trentinoin cream .025% ( DONT USE CREAM!!!!!!)UPDATE://////its been a couple days now since i quit retin-a, and i have ZERO new pimples/acne/whiteheads, my skin is returning to its normal (healthy) color. the scars look slightly worse but theres no new acne to form new scars! :]///// Edited November 29, 2009 by Splouge69 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Splouge69 2 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) Come to think of it, i get much worse acne on the side of my face that i sleep on.. lately its been the left, and the left has been worse. when i slept on my right side, the right side of my face was worse..wonder if the retin-a (only thing on my face at night besides a lil bit of polysporin in my holes*Wink*)is what is causing this? theres one way to find out ;] Edited November 28, 2009 by Splouge69 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BRAZZY 0 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I didn't get clear until week 13. By clear I mean the war zone my face became when starting Retin A calmed down. Weeks 15 through 17 I started breaking out again, but not nearly as bad as I did through my IB. Now I am on week 21 and pretty much flawless again. My advice is stick with it, but bump the dosage.

letsgoPSU 0 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I have been using Retin a for about 4 months and I have the same problem. I still break out, ant now i just get tons of really small zits that come to a head really quickly. It hasn't done anything to my blackheads and like you, the side of my face i sleep on is bad wheras the rest of my face isn't. I change my pillowcase and sheets alot too. Retin a sucks.
