Re the paragraph I cut and pasted below, I think Tretinoin cream CAUSES broken capillaries on my face. I noticed them appearing when I first started using Tretinoin. When I didn't use it for a year, no new broken capillaries in that time frame. When I went back to using Tretinoin, more new broken capillaries appeared.

• Tretinoins (vitamin A creams): There are many skin creams on the market that claim to improve broken capillaries but there really is no cream that can make them disappear. “Tretinoin helps reduce the visibility of these capillaries because it builds surface collagen in the dermis, thus minimizing the appearance of these capillaries,” according to dermatologist Dr. Cynthia Bailey. Some women have reported that they feel the use of tretinoin has contributed to additional broken capillaries, though Dr. Bailey feels those appearances are more due to sun exposure and aging.
