Stretch Marks & Acne ! Solved !!!

MissionMikey · 10-03-2005, 02:58 PM

Hey Guys,
I noticed a few people get the Acne side effect.Well back in the early 90's I read an article in a BB magazine and someone had asked about how to deal with stretch marks,...the in-depth reply mention a pescription cream that the Hollywood / Beverly Hills crowd had been privvy to since the 70's,its called "Retin-A".
I managed to get some of this cream and can say [for me at least] it IS the best cream of its kind.It'll obviously have different results in different people,but if you do have a face that looks like a pizza I say give this cream a try.[but don't put it near your ears/nose as those areas have a different kinda skin,as the instructions state!!! Gristle!].

i know this guy and everytime i talk to him all he goes on about is these HUGE RED SPOTS that i WILL GET after my test enan cycle, he is like a fuckin broken record and everytime i say to him look, i'm sure they can't be that bad, and he gets really funny with me about it saying i WILL GET THEM, EVERYONE GETS THEM!....

reckon this retin-A stuff will prevent getting these massive red welts from test? or should i be able to hold them off with sunbeds, b5, plenty of soap and scrubbing, and panoxyl 10 gel?

I wouldn't use Retin-A unless you are already seriously acne prone, Young D. It is rough on your skin, and should be kept as a last resort when cleansers and drying agents don't work, IMO. Of course, it is better than accutane as far as side effects go. Also, Retin-A is only proven effective when used for extended periods of time to the best of my knowledge.

Ive used Retin-A and your skin gets worse for first two weeks getting all the crap out, but after that it works well, does get your skin pretty sensitive to light

Retin-A is great but if you go out in the sun then forget it......its a winter treatment only..
