What the gurus are saying

Gurus view tretinoin as a legitimate, clinically proven option for stubborn acne that hasn't responded to over-the-counter treatments. It's positioned as a serious tool for people with persistent, difficult-to-manage acne rather than a casual skincare step. The community read is limited so far, but the consensus leans toward respect for its efficacy as a prescription solution.

"For acne, the FDA approved acne treatment is tretinoin, which is prescription strength. If you are dealing with true, true acne that is hard to deal with, then you're probably going to see tretinoin pop up in your future."
