Yup! Good stuff

It does dry my skin out a lot and did irritate my skin. Definitely not one size fits all, but worth trying

@D1 it definitely dries it out at first, but you’re skin eventually adjusts to it.

Thanks A2, you give me hope haha

Be careful about facial treatments you get while on Retin-A ... for example, waxing will rip your skin right off. I found out the hard way. 😬

16 weeks and so worried all of the stress I’m under is going to hurt the baby.

Today I spent almost the entire day crying and now have to make up the billable time this weekend. I really worry abt what effect this will have on the babe.
