Are you sure that it cures stretch marks? I used to use Retin-A and never heard any info about that. What I can tell you is that Retin-A is a bitch on the skin if you are exposed to sunlight. It made me burn like a mother. It also made my skin red and irritated all of the time, even when I wasn't out in the sun. I saw a post a while back about Accutane. There is another nasty dermatological drug. I used to have to get my liver enzymes checked while I was taking that stuff. Accutane has caused liver problems for more people than Anadrol-50. Accutane made my hair fall out, even my eyebrows. It also made my eyes dry and my lips chapped, even months after I discontinued use. My skin is so dry to this day because of the stuff, that my skin is always flaking off and it makes me look like a damn leopard!!
