I recently started using Tretinoin 0.025% Cream to treat my acne and hopefully reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles. I'm on my third week, and while I've seen some improvement, I've also experienced some dryness and redness. I'm wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences or if there are any tips to minimize these side effects. Also, how long did it take for you to see significant results? I've heard it can take a few weeks to a few months, but I'm curious about your personal journeys. Thanks!

I've been using it for a year now and my skin has never looked better. It's a game-changer for sure, but you have to be patient. Oh and make sure you don't use too much at once.

I started using Tretinoin a few months ago for acne and it's been great. I did notice some redness and irritation at first, but it calmed down after a couple of weeks. My skin looks so much clearer now.

Just started Tretinoin last week. I applied it every other day, and my skin is so red and angry. Is it too early to give up? What are the chances of getting used to it?

I think the key is to use it sparingly and build up to it. Oh, and a good moisturizer is your friend - and a little goes a long way.

I've been using Tretinoin for about 2 months now, and while it did take a bit of time to get used to, I've seen a massive improvement in my acne. Just make sure to moisturize like crazy and use sunscreen daily. Your skin will thank you!

I've been using it for six months now. It's been a bit unpredictable. Some months my skin is amazing but others it is so irritated I can't bare to look at myself.
