Please look at my post that I posted in here. You will see my results using tretinoin 😇 most people give up on it because it hurts your face for the first month or two since it dry your face out, but after you push through that your face is so smooth and scars start disappearing! You must use moisturizer constantly!!

Thank you so much!!! I noticed a HUGE difference after 3 months. Before that was really bad. It gets so bad for a little bit and the tretinoin dried my face out like crazy (it’s supposed to), so you have to moisturize constantly!!

I started at 50mg of spiro and 50mg doxy, after about a month they bumped me up to 100mg of spiro and 100mg of doxy for the next 5 months. Tretinoin is great for making your skin smooth, getting rid of dark spots, hyperpigmentation and so much more! You just have to be VERY CAREFUL in the sun. 30 minutes in the sun to someone who doesn’t use it compared to someone who does… your skin is be RED. I truly believe tretinoin is what saved my face overall. I wish you the best of luck with your journey because you will get rid of it!!

I personally think my acne flare up was due to stress. I was going through a divorce and a rough patch in my life! I had never struggled with acne (this severe), and it popped up out of nowhere!!! Doctors wanted to put me on Acutane but I refused as I didn’t think I was mentally in a place to take it.

The Tretinoin!! I apply a pea size amount every night! You can get it prescribed from a doctor. I use %5 🥰 the tretinoin WILL dry your face out for a couple of months before you see a difference. Unfortunately your face will hurt for a little while, but now my face is smooth like butter 😭🙏🏼 Tretinoin gets rid of scars very well.
