Hello, I'm new to this board.
I recently started taking vitamins.
(A, B6, C, E and Zinc).
and I noticed a slight improvement of my acne.
I went to the dermatologist at the beginning of this month and he prescribed me Tretinoin, I have only used it twice. I don't believe I have severe acne, my dermatologist basically told me what scars I do have aren't considered scars, but just discoloration do to clogged pores. He also told me he didn't expect for me to have a breakout upon taking it either, but from what I've read most everyone does. I guess my question is. How long does it take to have the breakout and how long does it last?
I assume it is different for everyone, but what is the average.
And what are the first effects of knowing that it is actually working?
Thank you.
