retin a micro
I think mild, moderate, and severe is a better way to categorize
cases of acne. If you see a derm, you might not start out with Retin
A Micro, because it’s a little more drying/irritating then something
like, say, Differin. In theory (at least, this is what my derm
thinks) you want to use the least irritating products that your skin
will respond to. Therefore, if you haven’t started seeing a derm
yet, they might start you off with something milder then the Micro.
I think Retin A can be used for any severity of acne. As I’ve seen
in my treatment, my acne is very un-responsive, but I’d consider
myself a mild/moderate acne case, and have taken Accutane, and am
taking oral antibiotics. Someone who may have a more severe yet more
responsive case may do well with Retin A. I’d see a derm, or ask
yours if you haven’t already!
