Generic Retin A

by Ruth Frank on Generic Retin A

My skin was covered with pimples. I was ashamed to see my own face in the mirror. My doctor recommended me Generic Retin A. This medication worked wonders. Within a week, I could see improvement. Generic Retin A contains Tretinoin, which is a naturally occurring form of Vitamin A. I purchased this medication at a much lower price at MedStoreRx.
