    The pain afterwards was minimal. The numbing solution did a pretty great job of handling any pain after the procedure.

    Pretty much once a week from the start. I feel like im still going through an adjustment. yes, definitely flaking. Not really any redness though. My skin has never been prone to redness though. I would recommend using sparingly in the beginning, depending on your response. The flakiness is pretty noiceable for me , so its difficult to use sunscreen or makeup. I typically use on friday, so my skin has some time to recover before heading to the office. Hope that helps!

    Still love retin A although im using about once a week still. My skin continues to peel a lot with use, so its a little bit more maintenance with exfoliation and extra sunscreen. I'll probably use sporatically when my skin looks dull but still very satisfied with the results. It gives my skin a plumper appearance.

    My dermatologist did not recommend it. I was worried using an exfoliant would irritate my skin, but I didn't really know what else to do. I didn't feel comfortable going to work the way I looked. My skin was peeling off in sheets and applying makeup just made it look worse.
