3rd wk of Retin A Micro-deplugging effect?

I'm actually going towards my 4th week of using the RA Micro, and I
think the "deplugging" effect that I've read so much about is
happening. The thing that is confusing me is that I'm getting
whiteheads in areas that I didn't have problems with before. My
forehead is crowded w/ these things at the moment, and it used to be
the clearest area of my face! Also, would the RA Micro bring up(?)
plugs that would result in cystic acne? Can the Micro penetrate that
deep? I'm getting some of the cystic type acne on my cheek area now,
which rarely happened before using the Micro.

I would appreciate it if anyone could share their knowledge on those
specific points.

TIA!

I think it brings all that junk that is deep down inside the pores to the
surface. Talk to your derm about this! Hopefully it will get all that junk
out and then keep your skin clear. Give it another month. Good luck.
