Can I lighten my skin with sun avoidance?
Hi Richmond. It's likely that even if you take the precautions that you are describing (Retin A and sun avoidance) that any pigmentation you already have will not go away.
The problem is that Retin A is only part of the solution for pigmentation. Hydroquinone is the other part. Without knowing what kind of pigmentation you are trying to get rid it's difficult to make a recommendation, but generally speaking we use either hydroquinone bleaching...
