I am 48 and have just started in the past few months to develop cystic acne predominatly on my cheeks...I have seen a dermatologist and have had laser treatments and been prescribed both Retnin A and Benzoyl perozide gel 5%.
I have yet to try the Retnin A. The gel is helpful but as soon as the area is clear another area pops up, it is a constant battle. As an adolescent I had the T zone now it is jaw line and cheeks. Everywhere else remains clear.
I have invested in the Clarisonic Brush to keep the area clean. What can I do as a regime to keep it clear. I want to add something to assist with wrinkles and evening out my skin tone as well. I know this is a tall order, can you help lead me in the right direction.....HELP!!!!

Hello Tina,
As much as I would like to sell you something from 2020 Skincare, you need to get on the Retin A first. Retin A is your BEST FRIEND when it comes to wrinkles and cystic acne. You cannot go wrong!! Start tonight!!
If I had to recommend something it would be to wear sunscreen every day, especially when on these Retin A and Benzoyl Peroxide products as you will be hypersensitive to the sun and sun damage causes more wrinkles. Take a look at Kinerase Daily Defense Lotion SPF 30, which will help protect your skin.
