Cheryl Gee, Texas, United States
For my acne problem, nothing works better than Generic Retin A that I purchase from medexpressrx. It literally cured my acne after 2 weeks of regular use. I don’t use a moisturizer cream now. It’s really surprising how quickly it works. I’d recommend buying Generic Retin A from this store – good service with fast delivery.
