I've used Retin A under my eyes every night for 3 nights trying to get rid of the crepiness & moderate lines, but now the area from the inner corner to my cheek is even more crepey, with what look like enlarged skin cells...There's no redness, but I applied Burt's Bees moisturizer with royal jelly, which is soothing but has done nothing to get rid of the crepiness. How do I fix this and...

I have been using Retin A until I found that I'm pregnant. I didn't know that a pregnant lady shouldn't use Retin A. Now, I'm 10weeks already and I stop using it when I was 5 weeks. What should I do? would it harm my baby? What are the birth defect that would cause to my baby? Did anyone out there has the same experience as me? My OB asked me to consider abort the baby. I'm...

Where can you find Retin A?

I am new to Retin-A Micro and have read a lot of reviews about it and understand that it takes time to see results and that your skin will often look worse before it looks better. I am at my 3 week mark, and did experience purging (not too bad though) and am waiting for the great results that many see at 6 weeks. For those using Retin-A, when did you notice a great improvement?For those that...

I just started Retin a on November 9th. I haven't experienced much redness or flaking (using .025 every other night) but my under eye wrinkles look so much worse! Anyone go through this and see improvements with continued use?

It's important to use a good quality moisturizer while using Retin-A. Doctor Barbara Bopp tells us that  "the best moisturizer is one that hydrates the skin, decreases inflammation, as well as protects from the sun."

I've been using Retin A for a couple of months. My doctor told me to start out slow every four days and would like me to get to using it every other day for wrinkles. I've been using it every other day for about a month now suddenly my skin and around the corners of my mouth and chin is peeling right when I have functions to attend. Am I suppose to exfoliate or moisturize? Is my...

Hi all, I have been using Retin A on/off for the last 2 years. I recently ordered Retin A from a new online source and I'm worried it might be fake, my skin is a mess - really flaky & red and sore not what I would expect after using it for 2 years. The packaging also looks slightly different, on the old Retin A the trademark sign looks like a flower (like all online pictures) and the new...

I've been using retin a for a month now and am noticing that I don't have to pluck those pesky chin whiskers that I have had to pluck since I've been in my 40s. Anyone else notice this?

I'm 30 years and was recently put on retin-a for acne, clogged pores, uneven texture, etc. I'm on my first week and thus far, have only had a couple days of bad peeling. I know side effects are supposed to get worse after 6-8 weeks of use, but how long should I expect them to continue after that? I'm getting married on July 25th and I want to make sure my skin will be clear by then....

Try a lower strength, maybe even retinol :-) Okay, that sounds ridiculously obvious, but it may not be, necessarily; I tried adjusting to retin-a 0.05% by using it only every two or three days. I also diluted it sometimes by mixing it in a good plain moisturizer and always waited an hour after washing my face to use it. I figured that the dryness/flakiness/tightness would subside...

I used Retin A 0.05 from Jansen until it was taken off the market. I am now using Ret A from Medpharma UAE and also tried Acretin from Jambool Pharmacy Saudi but am experiencing no flakiness or redness whatsoever. My question is are these products genuine or am I wasting my time?
