retin-a micro

you use any other products... i use neutrogena very gentle facial cleanser,
and cetaphil sunscreen & extreme hydrating lotion). i'm also using 0.04
concentration level of retin-a micro, but might ask my derm if he can up it
to 0.1 because i'm responding well and think my skin is getting use to it.

I stopped taking RetinA Micro a while back as my derm wanted me to try
Tazorac, which is similar to Retin A micro, but supposedly stronger (I
stopped responding to RetinA after a while). Along w/ Retin A micro or
Tazorac, I was taking oral antibiotics (doxycycline/Adoxa) and Benzaclyn
(topical mix). The idea was to treat the current zits via Adoxa & Benzaclyn
and try to reduce sebum production via the RetinA or Tazorac. I was using
that for about a year with some results, but unfortunately its effectiveness
tapered off. Now I am on Accutane, which I have tried to avoid. For
cleansing, I use the CVS version of Cetaphil's cleanser and Lubriderm
lotion.

Anyhow, you may want to as for the 0.1% RetinA micro if the 0.04% one isn't
causing redness and severe peeling. You can even take the 0.1% every other
day to reduce redness/peeling if you exhibit those severely.

you sure the skin starts a resistance to retin-a (micro)??? How could that
be?

Well, not necessarily resistence as its not antibiotics, but at least for my
case, its effectiveness decreased after a while of use. As every person's
body is different, results for you will most probably be different from
mine.

An example is a coworker of mine used Retin-A and it completely 'cured' her
acne. 'cured' meaning she doesn't get pimples any more. However for my case,
it helped reduce break outs initially, but after a while the frequency of
break outs increased. Although it worked for my coworker, it did not for me.
Hopefully, for your case, it will work to a satisfactory level as it did for
my coworker.

Good Luck
