    Retin-A micro gel is definitely different from the rest. It may be the last solution you have to get rid of acne. That's how it happened with me. I used to have severe acne since I was 22 (adult acne..., never had acne troubles in my teens ) and I kept struggling to do something about it. I don't think there's something out there I didn't try so far. Besides facial problems, I also had a nasty backacne. My dermatologist last prescribed me Retin-A micro gel in the evening and Duac in the morning, but warned me to follow his prescription literally.

    Can you use both Retin-a micro and Duac at the same time?

    yes, as far as the doctor reccommended. But would be better for you to consult a dermatologist, too. You may have a different skin condition, and might need another prescription.

    Can I use Retin A Micro alone, or it must work together with another cream for full effects?

    Retin-A uses tretinoin, that is formed of retinoic acid and vitamin A acid. It is used to treat acne and sun damaged skin, or wrinkles.

    Yeah, that's right. If you don't respect accurately the label, you'll get no results or even worse-you'll get rashes and redness! It's vital to let your skin adjust to Retin-A and then maintain the treatment for full effectiveness. It worked out for me too, I'll keep using it!

    you can buy it from drugstore.com, they ship to Switzerland. But Duac requires overnight shipping so it may bit be such a good idea to buy it from net. Try at a local pharma.
    or better try Retin A, I a more confident in this one, especially the microgel

    Don't mix Retin-a with Duac, I've heard that both are serious medication and you can take them only under medical advice. Please take a look here on Retin-A guide.
