I'm dealing with pimples that won't go away, and they're causing this reddish sensation and a bit of burning. I've heard about using RetinoA Tretinoin Cream for this, but I'm not sure if it's really good for these recurring pimples. Is it effective, or could it make the redness and burning worse? What should I expect if I start using it?
