I've used it for a year & have noticed a significant improvement. In reference to the other review, the info pamphlet tells you that you will peel, be irritated during first few weeks of use AND that the acne will worsen...then clear up. Stick with it, it does get much better. It also tells you to keep away from edges of mouth & nose. I use the foamign wash, which I love & the moisturizer that...

Great product! I have been using Tretin-X for a year now and what a difference! Acne is gone, dark spots have faded and fine lines are less noticeable. I would highly recommend using it over anything else and believe me, I've tried them all.

Just follow the treatment plan..like anything else in order to receive results you have follow directions and have patience. This medication does not work overnight..when u stick with it, the results are phenomenal..

It really irritates my skin. I feel a burning sensation over my entire face. Would not recommend if you have sensitive skin.

Stick with it, it does get much better. It also tells you to keep away from edges of mouth & nose. I use the foamign wash, which I love & the moisturizer that comes with it. Both are great! The only complaint I can offer is that you are supposed to wait about 20 min after washing face before putting the cream on (you have to let the skin calm) and sometimes I am ready to turn the light out & go to bed, not wait and get back up. But I try to wash the face earlier now. Overall, I really like Tretin-X & have noticed a big improvement. Although, I do worry that now after a year, my skin is becoming too "accustomed" to it & it's not as effective & the first 6 months of use.Read More Read Less

I have been using this for about 5 weeks now and my acne has worsened and I developed a rash around my eyes and ears. Luckily my doctor prescribed something for me to take and the rash is gone, but I am still waiting for my skin to clear up.
