ok i have acne and i got a prescription from my doctor and it's called Retinae (( i dont know how to spell it)) it's supposed to dry out ur skin. So i've used it for about a month now and it's not working. Has anyone else used retinae and what were ur results?

I used that stuff and it didn't really work for me either. You should probably go back to your doctor and tell him/her that it's not working for you.
Acne sucks. =(

I've used it years ago, it dries your skin out pretty bad. But you can use approved moisturizer to counter-act it. Sometimes it takes a number of weeks to kick in and start working. Retin-A is not all that great though. Ask for something better, I remember there being a pill you can take that has an extremely high sucess rate. It might be Tetracycline, I don't remember what it's called. Ask your dermatologist.

It's never worked for me. I have oily, acne prone skin. The only thing that's ever worked for me is a soap called PanOxyl Bar. You get it at WalMart and it's about $8. Just use it to wash your face. It cleared up my skin and I no longer have oily skin. I use it every day. It's a great soap.
Good luck.

You should try a little longer. Acne mediation usually takes a while until you can see the full result. Try for another 2weeks to a month.

I wouldn't do anuthing, bc everytime i applied anything to my acne, it got even worse, but when i didn't even touch it, it got better. when you dry it up, you can have a serious case of acne, like blackhead. I know that you want to get rid of it as fast as possilbe, but if you just wait, and try not to scratchit, it will pass by.

No but I have an easier solution for you
Go to your local drug store..and buy the green rubbing alcohol..its like 80 cents a bottle. It does the same thing..it dries out your skin. Just dab on a tissue and wash your face..you will see the tissue dirty from the oils in your skin..Then...You can do either one..both are fantastic...Maderma or Foot fungus cream...
Just because its marked acne..doesn't mean it will work.
