Would you mind sharing your experiences?
What happened to your skin? if you have an initial breakout and how long that IB lasted? Did you skin look like shit for a while then suddenly look amazing etc
I moved onto retin a 0.5 from retin a mixed with an antibiotic gel and my skin is currently purging. Small little spots with the odd white head. No peeling but a few red spot looking things under the skin.
I was prescribed the retin with the antibiotic for acne but my gp won't give it to me for long so I decided to try the retin a. The one with the antibiotic did work better for me in the sense that it didn't cause an IB but it is not so good for anti ageing and like I said, it was only going to be a short term thing and I want something long term.
My skin doesn't feel dry to touch, it feels lovely, but when I put foundation on it does ball up. No soreness just these little spots and some red things under my skin.
Thanks in advance. I am now off shopping to find a better foundation.
