I went to the dermo in June and have been on retin-A for a few months ( I know I have to give it longer) but I am still flaking and I took the gradual approach. I think I can figure that out unless anyone have advice for me ( Like BE PATIENT). Now for the other issue, the dermo didn't want to prescribe the recommended products for dark spots becuse he said the two I showed him (Alustra and Claripel) were harsh so.....what else can I use for dark spots and next time I will talk with him more about it. thanks
