WORTH IT$100
I use retin-a .05% and will say its the best thing in my regime and I will never go without. You will experience peeling and redness for several weeks while your skin adjusts to using it, but believe me it is well worth it.
I've been using it for almost 4 months and my skin is already looking smoother, fine lines have already begun to fade and my pores are looking smaller. The best thing I ever did for my skin in my opinion.

I just started using a lower dose retin-a and have noticed a bit of an improvement. I wonder why so many on this site say that it absolutely ruined their skin. I have not had any negative results but when I read those posts I'm wondering if I should continue.

Hello, I just started using this 2 weeks ago and my skins on my cheeks now looks very crepy. Does this go away? =-(
February 24, 2017
Yes! Mine too. I have been using on and off for a few months and about a month ago decided to get serious again. I'm now noticing an all over dullness. Wondering if that is the dryness that I'm experiencing...

I have been using the same strength for several months now and I can say for the first 12 weeks my skin looked worse. My chin broke out and my cheeks got very very dry. I pushed through and now my skin is radiant, smooth and looks the best it has in my life! So yes, stick with it and those issues should clear up. I apply it every night and finish with a bit of neutrogena hydraboost moisture gel. If I know I'm going to be out in strong sun (like a trip to the beach) I will drop down to every other night and always always wear a physical sun block (zinc oxide) a big floppy hat and large sunglasses. I feel super glamorous and am protecting the investment in myself at the same time. Good luck, stick with it and I feel confident you will love your skin in just a few more weeks!!

Well, in Feb 12 it will be 3 years since I started using retin-a and it's still going strong and still the most important part of my beauty routine. It is a texture refiner to the max!! Before I started on retin-a, looking at myself close up in the mirror was a nightmare...I now can buck up to the mirror and like what I see as far as texture and smoothness. Ladies, this is the single most important thing you can do for your skin over the age of 30...use it, stick with it and you'll be glad you did!

HI dolphins,
OMG, your skin looks amazing! I'm so happy for you. Just last week I was talking to a community members who became severely depressed Retin-A did you experience any side effects like that?
Thanks so much,

Thanks:)
I didn't have any side effects with retin-a. The only thing I had was the redness and irritation about 2-3 weeks in, but it subsided a few weeks after that and I was able to apply nightly. I am now down to 3 to 4 times a week. Before I started using retin-a, I was using Green Cream Level 6 for about 6 to 9 months...that really helped me transition easier to using retin-a.
