| It seems a bit early to be causing purging, but that may be it. Also, if your Retin A contains the ingredient Isopropyl Miristate, that can cause breakouts. |

| You're welcome, Calorblind! Purging is bringing up yucky stuff out of your skin! |

| Also, if you have oily skin and are using the Retin-A in the cream base that could cause breakouts in some people. Many people with this issue have better luck with the gel version of Retin-A, called Retin-A Micro. Just a thought. |

| It takes some time for your skin to get used to Retin A. The same thing happened to me initially...horrible cyst type acne when i never had it before. Then my skin looked the best it had in years. Don't stop...allow yourself some time to adjust to it. |
