--> Acne and Retin A <--

You may have heard a neighbor or friend tout the miracle work involved with acne and Retin A 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.

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--in a moment, after a few words on how we grow that acne to begin with. First, please understand that acne is biological/genetic. Acne is bacteria-based--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. And yes, that Retin A was mixed with straight vodka. And…hell, 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 thought I was.
