it may never come. I never had one.

Not everyone gets one. I didn't while on Tazorac cream which is similar to RAM.

I would say after about week 3, that's when you know you don't get the initial breakout.

It usually starts around three weeks, my intial breakout on 0.025 wasn't bad at all, I wouldn't get too worried. I have been on 0.01, 0.025, 0.05, and now 0.1. 0.1 is the only one that gave me a very significant initial breakout. The others weren't a big deal.
