TheExtricateApparition 0 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 This is my routine!1) Steam my face with boiling salt water2) Wash my face with clean and clear blackhead clearing scrub/let dry naturally3) Rub in the retin a gel.I do this twice daily, once in the morn and at night. Im not sure what else to do, it seems like a sensible rountine to me. Oh yeah and after i steam in the mornings i shave daily too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheExtricateApparition 0 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 Anyone know how i can can another tube of this stuff without me going to my doc for another prescription, my damn tube has split and it has leaked the danm gel everywhere. The doctor is bound to get fed up with me if i go to him and ask for another tube! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
agentcooper 0 Share Posted October 27, 2004 geez..you aren't having the luck with this, are you? just call your doctor and leave him a message telling him what happened. he should call in another prescription for you no problem... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheExtricateApparition 0 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 Yeah, getting a repeat prescription shouldn`t be too hard. They should really change the material of the tubes so they don`t split so easily! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
V 0 Share Posted October 28, 2004 TheExtricateApparition, retinA is only supposed to be used once a day, at night. Sunlight degrades retinA, and using it 2x a day is very irritating. Try using it just at night (pea size amount) and using a gentle cleanser. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheExtricateApparition 0 Author Share Posted October 29, 2004 This stuff is burning and drying and making my face red, just like benzoyl peroxide did. Im worried this stuff will leave me with permanent marks and red patches aswell owww Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheExtricateApparition 0 Author Share Posted October 30, 2004 I honestly can`t deal with putting stuff like bp or retin a gel on my face, it burns/dries and even makes my face blister. It honestly isn`t worth all the pain and discomfort so im just going to do the following.1) steam my face with boiling salt water2) wash my face with clean and clear blackhead clearing scrub.3) leave to dry naturallyAnd thats it, im not putting any crappy topicals like bp or retin a on my face ever again, if the marks i have now take upto 3 years to fade then so be it. I'll just keep taking my antibiotics and drink my green tea too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
