Hi Sylvia Scarlett,

Wow, it’s amazing how well the tretinoin seems to work - and so budget friendly, as well. I got a long way to with my tube but when I’m done I’m going to pay the derm a visit to see what my options are, too. Maybe Renova will be cheaper (and more effective), who knows?

Thanks for popping by and saying hi! Have a good weekend.

I used a tretinoin cream prescribed by a dermatologist a couple of months ago. It was for for acne but to help fade scars from adult chicken pox. My scars completely faded, but I did get the idea that the cream was really strong because the derm told me that some people got burning sensation, and in some of the places I used the cream (it was just to be applied on the scars) I first got a huge spot and only after it cleared did the scar start to fade. The interesting part is that the tube of cream cost three euro! All the cosmetic creams on the market probably have much less active ingredients and may cost up to 100 times more!

Hi Megan,

I think that Sea Breeze still might be available for sale, LOL. I dunno what it was about those Buff Puffs that made them so appealing (maybe ’cause they can double as Brillo pads in a pinch). I remember that it hurt like hell on my skin! What was I thinking?

I don’t remember Naturistics shampoo! I worked the Timotei back in the day …
