f0kus 1 Posted February 14, 2006 Those who have used Retin-A I was wondering, how long did it take for you to notice an improvement with red marks and scars? I've been using it for nearly a month and my skin is red and peely and breaking out, although the pimples are smaller but that is probably because of Yasmin. Do I stay in Retin-A? Help please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Help please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stay on it for at least three months to see an improvement in your skin. As far as scars, I have heard it can take 6 months to a yaers to see improvement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carys 0 Posted February 14, 2006 For me, the red marks took about a year to fade. I have really sensitive skin, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f0kus 1 Posted February 16, 2006 Was your skin really bad before Retin-A? Does your skin look very clear now? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carys 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Was your skin really bad before Retin-A? Does your skin look very clear now? Well, about six months after starting Retin-A, the acne started to come back, even though I was still using the Retin-A like I was supposed to. I ended up going on accutane later on, but previous red marks that I had before Retin-A had faded considerably. The problem with Retin-A was that it wasn't preventing me from getting new ones after awhile!!! But yeah, my face is pretty much clear now. I still have some red marks, but I just use a spot concealer to camoflage those. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
