Before Diddy was a spokesperson for Pro-Activ, there was this promotional tape about the prescription anti-acne cream Retin-A: the Retin-A rap:
I like how the first half of the video (and the rap) are about how great Retin-A was, and the second half is about how you shouldn’t give up even when the side effects are terrible. “Itchy-scratchin ITCHY ITCHY means it’s doin’ it’s job!” (Via Video Home System.)

I’ve got 99 problems but a zit ain’t one?
The Kid with the Glasses might need something a little more powerful than Retin-A to defeat social awkwardness.

I think the guy rapping is the guy from “Don’t Copy That Floppy”

I have this on VHS at my mom’s house!!! I put it face-down in my bedroom in, like, 1996, in case a friend came over and saw it. But apparently it was so valuable I never threw it out? Oh man. About Face!
“Retin-A Rap”? more like “Retina RapE”, amirite?
