Using Retin A (retinoic acid) for fine wrinkles on the face is an excellent idea. We prescribe first time Retin A users the .05% strength for a variety of issues such as fine wrinkling, melasma, and dark spots on the face due to sun exposure. One fantastic advantage of Retin A and its closely related products is that it also seems to help fight against precancerous changes of the skin, which is always a good thing! We would want to evaluate how you are doing on the Retin A prior to starting a series of peels, because some patients are more sensitive than others to the effects of the Retin A.
