Hi I was taking Tetralysal 300 antiotics and using Retin_A 0.1% gel until August/September last year. I agree the gel did dry my skin and make it red to begin with but my skin totally cleared up within 6 months (I was told it takes 2 1/2 to 3 months to get results). I came off the treatment after around 6 months as i was all cleared up and at that point I was on the pill so I had no idea that there may be an underlying cause to my acne, now my acne is back and I cannot go back on either of the treatments as none of them can be used when ttc or pregnant, but they definitely worked for me, its well worth the redness
