This cream is amazing. Its only been 3 weeks and my skin looks so smooth and soft. I noticed a change after the first 3 days that the cream was applied. I have mild acne along with large pores that look as though i have freckles on my face.I also have acne on my chest and back. Since i started the cream my pores have decreased in size dramatically.

This cream is amazing. Its only been 3 weeks and my skin looks so smooth and soft. I noticed a change after the first 3 days that the cream was applied. I have mild acne along with large pores that look as though i have freckles on my face.I also have acne on my chest and back. Since i started the cream my pores have decreased in size dramatically. I still do have some pimple appearing but i guess this is apart of the " get's worse before it appears to get better" stage..I must also add that once a pimple appears ,as soon as the cream is applied the inflammation decreases over night.I do suggest a good moisturizer to be applied once you wash your face in the morning.The cream does make my skin feel dry once its washed off ,but i apply Nivea to take care of the dryness. Overall this cream is wonderfull...

I want to write a review for all those out there hearing about "the purge" horror stories.

I want to write a review for all those out there hearing about "the purge" horror stories. When I started this medication (a mere week ago) I was terrified I would be dealing with my skin purging for a couple of months. I have mild, but painful cystic acne, primarily along my jawline. The purging lasted the first four days, and my skin has been looking better and better (the last three days have been miraculous!) Even the discolouration from old cysts is fading as the skin renews. Highly recommend - if your acne isn't severe, you will probably not purge for long (based on my experience), and even if you have severe acne, I would wait out the purging - I think it will be worth it.

Starting to see favorable results after 3 weeks of daily use at night.

Starting to see favorable results after 3 weeks of daily use at night. Need to keep your skincare regime simple to avoid interaction with other products that can cause a chemical reaction (burning, stinging & peeling), including cleansers. Regular vaseline gives instant relief to any flaking and itching, which has started to subside with regular use. Use only sparingly amounts of moisturizer as even the mildest contain a boatload of harsh ingredients. I only use a cleanser at night and rinse with warm then cool water in the morning. Also avoid foundation makeup, including minerals, if you are serious about wanting to clear up. By not over stripping my skin I have a nice natural glow. This is helping much more than Differin, Duac or Tazorac (which practically burned the skin right off me).

Every since I have started on this cream my acne clears up so fast. It reduces swelling and in the morning almost all my pimples are gone or hardly noticeable. Since using the cream, I have rarely needed to wear makeup and my skin looks so good. Although, it does cause some redness when you first use it, the redness seems to go away in a week or two. It just takes some time for your skin to get ... Show Full Comment

It just takes some time for your skin to get use to it. Moisturizer will be your best friend in the mean time! I would recommend this product to anyone. It is safe and effective and very easy to use.

I was terrified before starting Retin-A Micro .04% gel. I had heard all the horror stories and I was grudgingly preparing myself to look the worst ever yet for the next couple months hoping it would be worth it in the end.

I was terrified before starting Retin-A Micro .04% gel. I had heard all the horror stories and I was grudgingly preparing myself to look the worst ever yet for the next couple months hoping it would be worth it in the end. I was so nervous but I decided to go for it even though I had a busy summer planned and would be seeing lots of people. Another thing is I absolutely HATE makeup, I would rather die than wear foundation. I NEVER wear makeup, I'm an all natural, simple type of girl but I painfully betrayed myself and bought 100% Pure heavy foundation in order to save myself from the humiliation of what I thought would ensue upon starting Retin-A micro. I applied it, woke up the next morning, ran to the mirror and was shocked. My acne scars from recent breakouts were faded overnight and no new acne!!! I assured myself this was just the first day, the side effects just haven't kicked in yet. But, I have now been using it for almost a month now and my skin has looked the best it's ever been in years!!! And...I have had NO side effects!! Okay, a teeny bit of peeling around the sides of my mouth only because I was too stupid to apply it close to my lips. NO redness, no peeling, no initial breakout, NOTHING!!! My mom and sister the other day both commented on how great my skin looked with makeup on. I was shocked but with indescribable joy I was able to tell them that I did not have ANY makeup on, not even a swipe of mascara; they couldn't believe it! Every morning I look in the mirror and smile instead of cringing and looking down like I used to. I dress cute every single day because I have my confidence and happiness back. I can be myself and not feel worthless because of acne. My face right now is COMPLETELY clear, acne scars gone, no more acne, and I now have a glow that I've never had before. Thank you Retin-A micro!
