Retin A should not result in lip thinning.  In fact, retinoids stimulate collage production.  i cannot say they would plump the lips but they should not thin them

Retin-A shouldn't be used directly on the lips.... are you using it there? Volume loss happens simply from aging and sun damage. But you shouldn't apply Retin-A directly onto your lips.
