Hi, I will be 63 in sept. I have a light olive complexion, and my skin use to be very oily. After I went through menopause my skin became a little dry. For the last two years ive been taking adderall 20MG three times a day. The medication is a god send, but my skin has become very dry. Will retin-a help my skin or cause me to dry out even more? Thank You!

I would recommend 0.025% Retin-A cream. Start using it slowly every 2-3 days, at night only. Then move up to everyother night...and eventually getting into evey night as tolerated. You can put eye cream or moisturizer on prior to your RetinA for better tolerance.
Hope this...
When you first start using these treatments, start slowly and alternate them. Wash with a gentle cleanser and dry your face, wait about 10 minutes if you have the time, use the clindamycin one night and the Retin-A the next night. They can both be somewhat drying and irritating,...
For optimal results I recommend using both products together in the evening before you go to bed. RetinA will help Hydoquinone penetrate better and give you better results.
Consult your physician prior to starting these products.
Hope this helps.
