Retin-A Hair Loss?

Can Retin-A cause hair loss? I ask because I have woken many mornings to find an eyelash/eye brow on my face whilst using Retin-A.

No Retin-A will not cause hair loss.

No Retin-A will not cause hair loss. We all lose periodic eyelashes as part of the normal hair growth cycle.

Retin A and Hair Loss

Hair loss (alopecia) is not an expected side effect of a topical retinoid like Retin A. Alopecia should be evaluated by a board certified dermatologist to diagnose the underlying cause and determine the appropriate treatment.
