Therapeutic results from RETIN-A MICRO may be noticed after two weeks, but up to seven weeks of therapy may be required before consistent beneficial effects are observed.

While your skin adapts to acne therapy with RETIN-A MICRO, you may experience some mild or moderate irritation. There may be some discomfort or peeling during the early weeks of treatment. These side effects are not uncommon and should diminish in a few weeks. Do not stop using your medication.

In general, reactions can be lessened by carefully following the application instructions. However, if the effects become very troublesome, talk to your doctor or dermatologist. He or she may change your dose of RETIN-A MICRO or review your skincare routine.

Certain people who have sensitive skin may experience excessive redness, swelling, blisters, itching, stinging, dryness or peeling. If you experience severe or persistent irritation, consult your doctor immediately. Remember, these reactions don't happen to everyone. You may not get any reactions at all, which just means your skin is tolerating treatment.

In the first few weeks you'll see RETIN-A MICRO working to loosen blackheads. It pushes them to the surface to get washed away. While this is going on, your skin may sting or burn a little. It may even peel and flake like a sunburn and appear redder. Side effects can happen, but they are usually temporary.

In weeks 3 to 6 you may develop some new pimples. But you can handle it! This is a sure sign RETIN-A MICRO is doing its job. Under the skin, RETIN-A MICRO is loosening the stuff that causes breakouts and is pushing it onto your skin's surface to be washed away. Even though you may look worse for a while, hang in there.

After 6 weeks you should start noticing a steady improvement in your skin. Just keep up the good work by sticking to your treatment.

Between weeks 7 and 12 your skin will start looking even better. Your family and friends will probably notice the difference. You will too! You'll have fewer blemishes and breakouts, just smoother, clearer skin.

When you see these visible signs of improvement, DON'T STOP TREATMENT. There's no cure for acne, only control. So continue your regular applications with RETIN-A MICRO until your doctor says otherwise.
