hi my skin specialist prescribed me retin A today … to be used once at night and washed off after an hour.
i read some really bad reviews about it on the internet
what do you people think??? should i use it??? plx help 
GINA you reply too 
you know alot about everything here
P.S. i have some yuky pimples and scars too on my face
i live in pakistan…where the temperature these days is not much pleasant
and i donot go out in sun alot
If he/she has prescribed it for u're acne do as they say.. it's harmful if used for an extended time-period but one hour isn't bad. Make sure to wear sunblock everytime u step-out.
Re: RETIN A feedbak plx
i use diana sunblock SPF 40... will it be fine???
and on the other topic i read that you are not supposed to apply it on your whole face...but he prescribed me to apply it all over the face.... so you think its OK???
Re: RETIN A feedbak plx
btw thnx AlOT gina.......you are really a great help here :)
xoxo
oh and he told me not to use lemon and other totkas on face while applying this....
i use st ives whipped silk moisturizer .... should i continue applying it with it?? :)
If he prescribed it follow it exactly.. I however wudn't suggest using retin-A all over the face..but just the affected area's... u're using too many products at once.. and stressing urself out. Stress triggers acne as well.. follow his instructions.
Re: RETIN A feedbak plx
ummm well yes..... he just told me this
DONOT use anything else on face while using this.
use a nice company lotion ONLY IF u feel its drying your skin ALOT
you can always spray rose water
and i just threw away all the potions lol my mom is relieved :D
and he said there are veeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyy tiny ones on your face that you cant see at the moment but they will erupt some time in future... so i guess i will stick to what he told me.
i just wanted you to guide me through this too because you are a girl and you must know how it feels to jump from being clear skin person to an acne maniac :S
Once again amor, stressing-out will cause more damage to u're skin as well as more acne. U are being treated for acne so there's no reason to panic.. do as u're derm says and follow instructions.
Don't overdo with treatments, medications and home-remedies.. one product at a time.. results won't show within days of treatment..it takes months to see visible results.
