Great!

I've been using Retin-A(Tretinoin) for about 3 years now. So happy 😊 I found 'GETRET365' ❤️ and got retin-a a way cheaper. It is hands down the most effective anti-aging, anti-dark spot, anti-whatever skin flaw you may have. It's also the only thing that has actually helped with my acne. People comment on my skin daily, and have for the past 3 years since I started using it.

It's miraculous

I've been using retin a .05 since 1997 when a dermatologist prescribed it for my mild acne. I have continued using it for the last 20 yrs because of the great effects on my skin. I am 43yrs old. I do not have any wrinkles. I do not use it as frequently as I did in my younger yrs maybe twice a week before bed. My friends describe my skin as flawless. I do use makeup though. My insurance stopped covering retin a probably abt 12 yrs ago, but I continued using it just paying full price. I considered it o e of my luxury items. At the pharmacy I was paying about $250 US dollars. I only go to the dermatologist once a year to keep my prescription. My Dr. wanted me to try a few new products that contained retin a like (atralin, ziana) which my insurance would at the time cover and they worked just as well but whenever I travel to Mexico which is frequent for vacation I always buy retin a at the pharmacy which cost about $12-$15 US dollars. 1 tube lasts me about 1 yr when using a pea sized amount twice a week at night. If you have never used it this is what will happen: your skin will get worse before you see improvement. You will have dry, flaky, scaley skin for about 2-3 months. But moisturizing will help those side effects and once you pass that stage, you will see the miracle happen to your skin. You need to be vigilant about wearing a non comedogenic moisturizer and sunscreen everyday even if you don't spend hours in the sun. Oh yea, did I mention, WEAR SUNSCREEN.

I have used RETIN A since I was 30 ...now I am 63 and everyone says I have beautiful skin...It is to be used on clean dry skin every night...a bit only all over even under eyes...it clears up pimples black heads etc and promotes collagen build up which helps sagging...I have used the Mexican stuff for at least 20 years...less money and just as good...u should not go in the sun without sunblock and hat...also great for the backs of the hands....

Retin-A Review

Having acne for ten years, I have searched for a product that could clear those stubborn post acne scars so I decided to visit my dermatologists. My dermatologist recommended I try retin a twice daily to see if my skin would peel. I used retin a 0.1 and boy did it make my face extremely red and brown. I could not go out during the day without a lot of sunblock. However, about two weeks in, my skin started to peel really well and my acne scars had lightened. However, it did not prevent me from future breakouts for long periods of time. There would be times when my skin would be clear and other times when I would get a cystic pimple or two. Because of the pimples, I eventually discontinued use of this product. I would recommend this product to anyone who does not have the reaction I did of breaking out of course. It is also great for scars so if you need to get rid of some old skin, retin a is the product that will make you peel away your imperfections but it is not the product that will prevent you from having more.

Retin-A what do you say!

5

I've been using Retin-A for the past 10 years and it's greatly helped with my acne prone skin. When you first use the topical cream it causes mild dryness and skin starts to peel. You must use a moisturizer with it. Doing the first couple months your skin will purge itself of all it's impurities. Which means you will breakout constantly. It will appear like your skin is getting better every other week and then it will breakout for the next 3 months. Around month 4 you'll notice less pimples and far fewer breakouts. When the 5th month rolls around you'll notice your face is completely clear, but you'll be left with red marks on your face. The red marks eventually fade away over time. You must continue to use this product after your face clears because if you don't your acne will come back slowly.

I am 52 and look 42. I started using Retin A 30 yrs ago and it changed my acne and my life. My acne is totally under control and I have smooth beautiful skin with only a few wrinkles because I STAY OUT OF THE SUN.

I never write product reviews, but I have to say that I have been using Retin-A for over thirty years nightly.  I am approaching sixty, and most people guess that I am early to mid-forties.  My skin is smooth, and except for some rather deep wrinkles from nostrils to the corner of my mouth, I think I look terrific.  My complexion is slightly red because of the use, but I'd rather have a reddish skin than age-related wrinkles.  The strength I use is 0.1 which is pretty strong; perhaps it would be better to start with a weaker strength.  I moisturize during the day, avoid the sun since the product does cause the skin to burn easier, and use it and nothing else at night.  And don't forget to use it on your neck.  I have no sagging there, and I attribute it to Retin-A.

Great for Acne control

I have been using Retin-A Micro for a month to fight adult acne.  After 2 weeks of looking worse (red, peeling, sore), my face is starting to clear up and the acne seems to be under control.  It takes months for this to work, and you have to keep using it to see long term results.  If covered by insurance, this stuff is great!  If you get too red in the beginning, backing off for one night seems to do the trick.  A little goes a long way.
