Hi everyone!

I am wondering if anyone else has this problem with long-term use of retinoids? I seem to do well for a few months on retin-a, then after 6-9 months of use (mixed with cream used daily) I start getting broken capillaries on my face, mostly around my nose and on my cheekbones. I also get extra sensitive to cleanser, sunscreens, etc.....which I do not experience when I am not using retinoids. Had the same experience with Differin, except it happened faster.
O-31 S-44 P-35 W-42<br />Favorite sunscreens:<br /> Avene very high protetciion spray SPF 50+ <br /> Hawaiian Tropic oil free faces spf 30<br /> Hawaiian Tropic Baby Faces and tender Places SPF 50
