Treatment
of Acne With Retin-A
What have you heard about the
treatment of acne with retin-a? You may have heard a neighbor or
friend talk about the miracle work involved with acne and Retin
A. You may have come here to research the possibilities, since
you are at your wit’s end, and decided to deal with acne and
Retin A as the latest reality. Or you may have heard about or
read up on how Retin A is a medically questionable solution,
that Retin A was banned, is dangerous, is too drastic a decision
or treatment. Whatever reason you are researching the topic,
there are answers!
Acne is, granted, one of those human flaws that unfortunately
appear externally, so, unlike a genealogy of family members who
are mentally ill or alcoholic, we cannot hide or keep secret the
seemingly fatal flaw. I agree: acne makes for socially
disastrous results. It can hurl us into depression, see us into
obsession—into staring at ourselves for hours, picking, poking,
squeezing, and popping, and can impel us to study and pursue
such seemingly desperate measures as spending hours poring over
acne and Retin A reports and case studies.
Let me give you one such case study of acne and Retin A when
Retin-A was still a volatile possibility. But first, a few words
on how we grow that acne to begin with. First, please understand
that acne is biological/genetic. Acne is bacteria-based and is a
result of natural sebum clogging pores and follicle. Acne is
also induced by stress, which sends an increase of sebum to the
pores and follicles, thereby sending you something to show off
at the high school reunion, wedding, or first date, which, if
you think positively about it, will prove to yourself and others
you are still young...not that you were so stressed about
revisiting your history that you broke out in adolescent growth
spurts—on your face.
Some of us are still that young, others remember having acne,
others have kids who are having a bad time of this adolescent
nightmare, and still others of us recall acne and Retin A. As
far back as the seventies, that is, I was an acne and Retin A
candidate. And though those I tell today show doubt about that
acne and Retin A (because it was then a problem/solution combo
that was highly questionable and not yet fully studied, and,
well, because my skin is zit-free now), I continue to swear by
acne and Retin A as the most miraculous of problem and solution
phenomena.
Yes, I washed my face. Yes, I steamed and applied fresh lemons.
Yes, I went to a dermatologist, was given a prescription that
required acne and Retin A become friends with each other. And
yes, that Retin A was mixed with straight vodka. And yes, it
burned, made my face peel in sheets, and made peers in high
school point and ask if I had been in some sort of accident.
But, OH, YESSSS…. By day three of the acne and Retin A
experiment, I was once again the beauty I knew I could be!
