A member asked:
Why is retin-a micro taking sooooo long for me to see results ? its been 8-9 weeks and only thing i noticed was less breakouts. still have uneven skin

Acne is improving: Since you are having fewer breakouts, the retin a (tretinoin) micro is working. A newer medication that might work even better is epiduo. Acne is usually a chronic condition and cannot be "cured" overnight. It will take time so be patient. How are you cleansing your face? A gentle cleanser like cetaphil oil control is good, as is a brush like a clarisonic.
