Magic cream for Pimples, Acne - Retino A cream review

Hello friends,

Today I am going to review about this awesome magical product called Retino-A.

Brief history:

Like every other girl, I suffered from acne problem since the age of 15. I had clear spotless face before my breakouts. My pimples were predominantly found on my forehead, nose and the chin since I had combination skin (oily in the T-zone and dry on the other parts of the face). I tried almost everything from home remedies to ointments, visited 4 to 5 dermatologists. My pimples just wont go. I have been battling with this problem for 6 years till I turned 21, and one day I found this super product called Retino-A.

My brother suffered from pimples too and he had visited a dermatologist and was prescribed with this cream. I wanted to give it a try, because I dint give up even after 6 years of battle, and I just wanted to make my pimples go away whatsoever. The results of using the cream - MAGICAL!!!

What is Retino-A:

Retino-A is a Tretinoin cream manufactured by Johnson and Johnson Limited in India. Retino-A is available in 2 concentrations – 0.025% and 0.05% Tretinoin cream. The price of Retino-A 0.025% (blue) is Rs. 103.69 for a 20 gm tube. (Please recheck the latest prices before buying). Both women and men can use Retino-A.   

How it works:

Tretinoin is a derivative of vitamin A. It works to alter the skin cells by modulating gene expression, rather than inducing cell necrosis (death). The effect of tretinoin is the speeding of skin cell turnover, reducing breakouts and producing smoother, younger looking skin. Melanocytes, the skin cells responsible for skin pigment, are suppressed by tretinoin. This decreases skin discoloration and uneven skin tone. As a result, also the fine lines and wrinkles are reduced, skin feels smoother and looks more evenly colored. 

Advantages:

1. Works amazing on pimples, acne, blemishes.
2. Easy to apply, the cream fades away after applying
3. Works on cellular level, unlike other creams
4. The ONLY product that I find actually works on pimples
5. Results in short span of time

Disadvantages:

1. Skin becomes sensitive to sunlight, so always use a sunscreen and apply the cream only in the night
2. Initially your pimples may increase. Don't panic and stop. That's the biggest mistake most people do and they just give up. Be patient. The reason why pimples increase is the cream brings out the hidden pimples outside (i.e. the ones ready to pop on your face in the future, like in 5 or 6 days) and eradicates everything completely. How sweet of the cream! :D

My experience:

As I already mentioned, I have used almost all medications for my pimples and the only product which actually worked for me is Retino-A. I used the 0.025% concentration. I would suggest you to begin with this concentration since the red tube with 0.05% is not mild like the blue one. Also, I used the red one and found that my skin started to flake around the pimples. It means the concentration is strong for my skin. I am 200% satisfied with this cream. I found my results in 45 days. It's worth using this product. 

Before-After picture:

Please don't mind about my skin tone in the above picture. One was taken with flash and one without flash. I had many more pimples (10 times more) than in this before picture I have posted, but unfortunately I don't have a picture of that, I could find only this image.

My advice to new users:

1. Read the instructions manual carefully before applying. There are certain people who shouldn't use such as pregnant and lactating women.
2. Never give up if your pimples increase while using the cream. Remember, it is a process. It means the cream is actually working.
3. After your pimples fade, use the cream once or twice a week to prevent pimples popping in the future and for maintenance of clear face.

So what are you waiting for? Fight those pimples, start the battle! I have finished the battle already! I won! :)

Take care.
