Any Correlation Between Retinol-a Use and Broken Capillaries?

Posted By Skinner (Chicago, Il) on 03/16/2012

I wish someone would reply to this post. My concern is when I had really bad acne, I visited my dermatologist who prescibed me Retinol-A. Worked great for the acne, but have a face full of broken capillaries. There is always the laser treatment and always the needle full of saline solution (both painful and expensive). Has anyone else noticed a correlation between the Retinol-A and broken capillaries? Is there any hope for me? Please help.

Yes, I too have broken capillaries, getting more and worse the longer I use the Tretinoin, AkA Retin-A, I started it for cystic acne, it did help it, but I'm going to quit it because I don't want this to continue.
