Severe Orange Peel and Weathering/skin Damage from .025 Retinol?

June 5, 2012
Asked By:llcardinale

I used this retinal for 3 years and then had a severe reaction starting with what looked like tracks intersecting, then burning for several weeks on and off over a three month period. This process over about 3 months now looks like I have aged by 15+ yrs. Note that I ceased using it as soon as I saw the first damage. This occurred 01/11. Now I want to know what can be done to correct the damage without causing further damage. Note that this damage also triggered rosesa. Thank you.
