i got the pills and tretinoin cream for nighttime use
both didnot affect me the first few weeks but the doctor did say it took a couple weeks to kick in

i am also using an over the counter lotion i got that is called phiso-derm
it says it revitalizes skin so i got it and I use it 2 times a day
ive been using all 3 of these for the same amount of time and just in the past few days my skin has gotten really dry in the face
I assume its the lotion or the ointment..
hopefully the ointment so that it means im making progress
