Loving Retin A (Tretinoin)

I have been using Tretinoin for the past 9 months....
WORTH IT$45
I have been using Tretinoin for the past 9 months. I have really been pleased with the results. I had a facelift, brow lift and fat transfer last November. I asked my Plastic Surgeon what is the best thing I can do to maintain the results and he said use Retin A/Tretinoin.
I have some skin on my face that looks a little crepe like. The Tretinoin has noticeably helped improve the appearance and texture of this area. People have been telling me that my skin looks great.
The Tretinoin does dry out the skin. I found a really good hydrating serum that has helped with this. I think avoiding the sun, using the Tretinoin and a good moisturizer will help my skin keep looking its best.
I am so glad I am using the Tretinoin.

I also use Neutrogena alcohol toner. The biggest thing I do is avoid the sun. If I am doing something outside in the sun like playing golf I wear a hat. Although I would love to be tan, I don't like the sun spots and wrinkles the sun gives.
I just started using Retin-A - so glad to hear you have had such good results!! Thanks for listing the products you use, that is really helpful!
I recently started useing retin a and it made my face worse i asked my mom, because shes a nurse and she said it's supposed to.A couple days later i loved the results and it will continue to get better.
I've been using it since early September & still am not seeing much change in the clarity of my skin - but I'm going to try for another month or two. Maybe my skin is just stubborn or something! ;)
Hmm, I've never heard of anyone needing to rinse their face an hour after. Was that something your doctor told you to do, or just what you thought you were suppose to do?
At night I wash my face, put on my moisturizer, wait 15 mins, then put on my Retin-A. That is pretty much what I have read everyone else does too. That being said, I'm not a doctor & there could very well be reasons you were instructed to rinse yours off. You could post your question in the Q&A section. The doctors volunteer to answer the questions, so its free. Make sure to put in any unique circumstances that might be reasons you were under the impression you were to rinse your face after an hour.
Hope that helps! :)
