    I've had Retin-A Micro, which works amazing well but it's prescription only, and the peeling would sometimes make my skin look horribly flaky under makeup. The cosmetics industry has many gentler...

    LOVE this, as well as the clinical 1% drops. This is the closest you can get to a prescription retinoid (Retin A, tazorec, etc.) before a written Rx is required. It's important to note that because...

    This is pretty decent, but the price is way too high for a product that is only available online. By cutting out the middleman, this should be a lot cheaper than it actually is ($55 for 1oz)....
