They say Retin A micro helps shed dead skin making your skin look young and fresh, will you continuously shed dead skin cells as long as your using Retin A Micro?

Retinoids, such as Retin A micro, accelerate skin exfoliation, or shedding.  This is most noticable at the beginning of treatment.  Although exfoliation continues with treatment, it slows down and becomes less noticable over time.
