BenzaClin and Retin-A Micro irritating my skin?

Ugh, I used BenzaClyn and Retin-A for months and my acne never really subsided, my face was just a red, itchy mess. It actually emphasized my acne, my face looked horrible. I listened to the advice that "it would get better before it gets worse" but, it never got better! I would tell myself "Oh, it looks better today" then, another breakout would come. A perfect stranger would point out my acne and ask me about it, it was awful. I have used every medication, every over the counter product, and my self esteem was never so low as with RetinA. Hang in there, though I guess it works for some. My sis just started Accutane and I was literally one step away from going on it until I tried this new laser treatment my dermatologist does. It worked so well. I had to do about 4 treatments, and they're expensive (500 bucks each) but they really worked. I rarely get a pimple now and my old spots are fading. Ive never felt so great about my skin. I have adult acne though. If you are a teenager or have a different type, RetinA may work for you, but if you get the cystic acne like I had, its more of an internal thing and it probably wont get rid of it. If you're a female, try going on Yaz, I think that helped also.
