Is Retin - A any good?
Hi are there any side affects of using Retin - A for marks on your cheeks left by spots, I had loads of spots on my cheeks caused by using way too much creams, Its been about 5 months and the spots have gone by taking antibiotics but small marks which you get from spots remain and are taking time to fade. I have a caramel brown complextion and wil usingl Retin - A cause hyperpigmentation, uncontrollable dry skin, or an other side affects?

Thanks

Yes I have used it for acne but a long time ago. A very strong treatment that can make the skin quite red a peel during the treatment. Works very well but doctors are often reluctant to prescribe it.

Hi thanks for your reply i havnt got acne i had some antibiotics that cleared the spots i had.
What im left with is marks left by spots and i was just wondering wether this treatment is a bit too extreme for me since i dont have any spots just the marks and wether it could make it worse?
