@naiiRa2d0pe Hey!! I think it works according to how deep/old your blemishes are. On my newer blemishes, they lightened (were un-noticeable) within 2-4 weeks. For the blemishes I've had for years, they just lightened over the 2-4 weeks. Now I'm focusing more on using retin-A at night since its the summer.
I read that symptoms of dry skin is actually skin shrinking. I can't tell if it shrunked or thinned but I just no that it didn't feel or look this way before I used it. DId your skin eventually stop being dry after a while and go back to it's normal state? Sorry for another question but I don't know to many other people who used acne medications like myself
@alreadycrowning My skin was shrinking! LOL, I didn't know how to explain it in words:-) It did go back to normal after a few weeks. I just switched to a more gentle face wash and moisturizer to use (w/o the harsh acne medication) and my skin felt so much better!
Oh thanks for the info! and I do plan on going back to the derm. I think I might have also experienced the dryness you said you experienced. With me it feels like my skin is more firmer but not in a good way and it appears to have shrunken.
You know what's crazy I only used it once all over my face and haven't used it again ever since. It's been two months now and I still feel skin irritation on my forhead. It's like I keep feeling a twitching on my forhead and know one can tell me what it is that im suffering from. My skin never use to do this untill I used the retin A. Do you know what they really classify skin irritation as?
@alreadycrowning Skin irritation is usually itching and little bumps that pop up. You could have possibly been allergic to the retin-A. I know it took my face a couple of months to recover from using differin and tazorac. My skin became rough, dry, and very irritated. I'm not sure why your forehead would twitch but I would strongly suggest telling a dermatologist or doctor that you didn't experience it until using that product.
@alreadycrowning I can't use certain hydroqunone products because I get these small black bumps on my face. No one (specifically doctors) didn't believe me when I said it was the product doing it. So i stopped using it and they would disappear. They looked like little moles or beauty marks. To this day I still haven't figured out why it happened.
@alreadycrowning Initially I did a thin layer all over but because of irritation, I started using it only on the affected areas. It still burned my skin.
hey im new to lustra ultra does it work good for you? fast results?
