|dermovate cream for acne

I have had acne and pimples since I was 15. I'm 23 now. I rarely get pimples, except a few along the sides of my eyes. I have red acne scars and marks that never seem to heel or fade along my cheeks.
My dad keeps a tube of dermovate in the bathroom and one day I tried some on. It's a steroid, I believe, and reduces redness instantly. When I put it on, all the red pockmarks look normal and my face looks perfect. The steroid seems to keep the face clear for about 2 days before the effect wears off. I suspect it thins the skin and is harmful to use in the long run. Pity that something fast working like this couldn't be invented for acne.
Question. I was wondering if I should try Retin A? My skin is very sensitive, and it sounds very strong. I'd say I have very mild acne. I don't get bumps or any painful cysts, it's mainly blackheads on the nose and red pockmarks along the cheeks. Would you recommend me using Retin A or any other treatments?
Right now all I use is Daktacort, which the doctor prescribed for flaking skin. -
Hi Mike,
If you say you don't get pimples anymore has no point of using Retin-A, which is very strong and exfoliates your face. For red marks use a bleaching cream. Ask the pharmacist or better go to a cosmetician or cosmetic retailer and ask to recommend you a good bleaching cream that works. From my experience I can tell you that really works, without exfoliating the skin or thinning the skin, which in your situation it's not recommended . If you still use your dad's dermovate make sure you use an sun bloc when you go outdoors.
You can buy an over the counter lightening cream , but I can't guarantee you that it works.
