Best dermatologist I've seen and I'm from D.C. had botox done 3 times already. Perfect results. Warm and friendly. Dr. Hopkins knows her stuff and even got my health insurance to pay for a troublesome scar. They work quickly but with care. Highly professional.
I tried retinol and could not tolerate it. My skin never got out of the red, flaky phase. My dermatologist suggested Avene Retrinal and, at almost 50, I still get tons of compliments on my skin. Its a magic pill! It also helps with dry skin. The only thing is that you actually need to use a pea size amount....I wasn't using enough for a very long time. I started out with .05 and moved up to .1. I get it off of Amazon now.
