In her latest skinguru blog, Dr Baumann writes:

"Apply ¼ teaspoon of your regular retinoid (Retin-A, Tazorac, or Differin, for example) to your face before bed. That's more than the pea-sized amount I recommend for daily use, and will cause your skin to peel after about four days. A couple of days after that, though, your complexion will be positively radiant, it's texture will be smooth, and even clogged pores will be noticeably clearer."

Has anyone here tried this? What were your results?

I have never used a retinoid (although I have an unopened tube of Differin cream waiting for the day I stop using my md formulations aha cleanser which is doing a good and gentle job in controlling my acne so far).
I am assuming that I need to be a regular user of retinoids before attempting the retinoid peel, (especially since the Doc does mention "...your regular retinoid"). But, boy, am I tempted by her description of the outcome! Somebody stop me!?
