Q: Rentin-a Causing Acne?

Okay the point of this is to promote cell turnover. So...it makes you shed like CRAZY! right?

Now dead skin cells can block a pore and make you break out...so can this medication actually do more harm than good?

I exfoliate often now that I use this medication by the way. Like twice a day to keep all this skin at bay!

So basically I am paranoid to use my Retin-A cream now.....
Sad
Someone help me!!!

As long as you keep your skin clean by washing it twice a day you should be fine using Retin-A. Also for people with acne its good to wash bed sheets and pillow cases at least once a week.
