Tretinoin
"I take the .01% and I'm so glad I can. I still have to take spironolactone for a continuing problem with cystic acne but the combination is ideal. I also love what it's done for a few little brown spots. I've been on it maybe 3 years and I just didn't think it was going to sand down some of my little raised acne scar/specks but I can finally feel the results now. Growing up I felt like a monster with my acne and, eventually, I was fortunate enough to be prescribed Accutane, not once, but twice (thank god)! I had the worst and the lowest self esteem imaginable. Yeah Accutane (big time yeah)!! Yeah Retin A / Tretinoin! It will never erase my scars, I need a real sanding down for that, but it has raised my self esteem."
