Megan, keep with it. I use 1% cream and Im 42. It does work but, its going to make you look older its almost as if it brings up what is under the top layers of your skin.. My sister is 46 and she has used it for 10 years and at first she looked like a ca raisin (joke) I would tease he about it... And know she looks 30 so, I would listen to your derm. And I use a soft scrub I use st ives apricot scrub gentle.. You have to get the dead skin off thats the peeling you see.. And use a good moisterizer... You can not lay in the sun or tan with this product. It will BURN YOU!!! And a lot of the wrinkling you see is because your face is dry drink alot of water and a good mositerizer while using the retin a and be patient,it does work....
It takes time for the retin A to work. Your skin will look worse,before it looks better. When i first started using it, I almost gave up,because I wanted instint results. Well I kept using it,and about a 6 months into it , i did see results. Also, it will turn your skin RED until it adjust mine took about 3-4 months. I also used a very mild facial scrub at least 2 times a week. So each persons skin is different. Dont expect to see results for 6 months to a year..
