Can I Mix Tretinoin Cream with a Moisturizer So It Goes on Smoother?

I have 0.1% tretinoin cream which seems hard to apply evenly on my face. Can I mix the pea-size amount with a moisturizer to apply at night or will this impair its effectiveness. I am 58 years old.

A: Can I mix Retin A with Moisturizer

Absolutely, I recommend it if the Retin A is irritating you. To avoid irritation, try to put the Retin A on every other day for about a month. Also, make certain that your skin is dry (eg let it dry for 20 minutes before applying RetinA)

If these dont work, mix it with some moisturizer such as Scientific Daily Hydrator

Restylane Disappeared 5 Days After Injection, Is This Normal?

my doctor used 3/4 ampule of restylane to fill my upper lip . the result was great just after the injection .. 2 hours later i had a huge huge swelling and my mouth looked like a duck . i kept icing the area and i used (surgam) to reduce the swelling . now after 5 days of injection . i feel that i didn't do anything and the effect has gone . doctor said that i need to retouch . but it will worth or i will have the same result ? thank you

A: restylane dissapeared after a few weeks is that normal?

No, it is not normal. Restylane lasts for about 6 months and if it disappeared shortly after injection, it is likely that it wasnt Restylane or that something was done to disperse the product in a way that diffused it.

Why Are Restylane Injections (Undereye Hollows) So Expensive?

It's usually recommended that 2 syringes are used per eye; $1000 per syringe. Why is restylane so expensive? Is appears cheaper and more convienent to get an under eye implant atleast the results will be permanent where as with restylane you'll have to come back approximately every 6 months to 1 year for injections. Someone please help, I need undereye hollows filled but I can't afford $3000-4000 for restylane injections.

A: why is restylane so expensive under the eyes

Restylane or any injectable is expensive when it is purchased from a reliable person. The exact price of the procedure varies from 700 to 1000 per syringe. These injections are really intricate and require deep placement of the material. I like to place these injections beneath the muscle in order to avoid lumps and bumps and discoloration.
