I was acually allergic to retin-a and you've desribed exacly what happened when I used it. My advice is to stop it now before you get scarring.

Retin A made my skin the worst it had ever been. Seriously. It wasnt just a PURGE. It never got any better until I eventually stopped and even then it continued for a WHILE. It also made my skin SUPER oily. Was awful. i would never try it again!!!! But for many, its fantastic..

My favorite is benzaclin. No initial breakout. Starts working really fast.

Yup, same thing happened to me. Terrible! Instead of helping with red marks, it made my face even redder as well.
