I’ve had adult acne for years. I’ve tried every single prescription you can imagine. I also used tretinoin regularly for 2 years and my improvement recently came to a halt. So I’m trying the new PCA clarify retinol and the purging is driving me crazy I have to stop it. Has anyone had success clearing their acne without a retinol/retinoid and without any prescriptions? submitted by /u/Southern_Ad_3429 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

My insurance doesn't cover my prescription. Dr. gave me some sort of certified Rx print on paper and advised me to look for a source online who will fill the prescription. He mentioned GoodRx and Amazon Pharmacy to name a few. I have never filled a prescripton this way, and frankly, it feels foreign and confusing. Usually, Dr. writes a Rx, I tell the the pharmacy, then I go to the pharmacy and pay and pick it up. That route of acquisition is what I am accustomed to. Anybody familiar with the online route? Any tips or advice? I feel like a big baby! submitted by /u/Proof_Cable_310 [visit redd ..read more
