Cons:
Some side effects - if you use too much and too often, your face peels - which - may not look all that good, however, it's simply doing it's job. If you can't tolerate this, switch to Retin-A Micro, or blend the cream with a moisturizer and use every other day.
Pros:
Cleared up 100% of my moderately severe noncystic acne.
Cleared 100% of my keratosis
No side effects when used properly
Finally, perfect skin
Cons:
Peeling if used improperly.
Sun burn if not using sun screen.
Higher doses work no better than low doses but will burn skin.
Cysts take longer time to drain and will flare up if not fully healed before quitting.

Cons:
took a few weeks for my face to get use to Retin A
Acne came back worse after stopping the medicine
Interfered with my bowel movements... did a number on my health
Pros:
I think I've been using this for the past 2 years or so and I'm happy it worked out for me. Now, I am slowly getting out of the acne phase but I still get pimples now and then and use this. My Forehead is very oily and I'll will use this when ever a pimple pops up. I try my best to keep my skin clean to prevent outbrakes but I still get them even when I use this. Maybe I'm not cleaning my face good enough? Not sure. But I'm happy with retin-a and I'm afraid to try something else.

Dry skin/ Skin Peels

Pros:
I swear by Retin-A. I use the 0.5% cream at night and love it! I rarely break out now but when I do have the occasional pimple, I dab a bit of Retin-A right on it and it is usually gone within a few days.
Cons:
It took several months for me to see results. I believe I suffered the initial breakout because my acne got worse before it got better which was a bit stressful.
Pros:
Pros are - it works. Clears acne. Makes the complexion better. All sorts of scientific goodness in a tube. Price is reasonable.
