That is odd. And you only used it 3 months? Could it possibly be from something else? Retin-a is a fan favorite around here. But if used incorrectly, I guess it might have caused it.

I had sever acne I mean really bad to where my face would throb in pain. I doctor gave this tube to me told me to use it every night. I used it only in the places my face had acne (forehead and cheeks by my nose. My face peeled and I stoped using it. My skin is so thin where I used it and my makeup never went on smooth ever again after using that stuff now I have wrinkles and limp skin. Isnt this suppose to stop from getting wrinkles?

Maybe Retin A doesn't work on everyone. I've tried using it a dozen times and after about 2 weeks use my skin starts looking terrible so I stop. Now I use C serum in the day and avocado oil at night.

Yup, Vit C serum works better for me too. I use BioNova products at night.
