We have found that ceramide moisturizers are ideal for use with Retinoids and Retin A. In our office, we recommend the Elevase Moisture Booster with Opti-ceramides. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
Yes topical retinoids are safe for teenage patients!
Retinoids come in different strengths and vehicles. They help to clean out and
unclog pores, which is a major contributing factor in the development of acne.
Retin-A does firm up skin by
stimulating collagen remodeling and thickening the epidermis which
strengthens skin and improves wrinkles wherever you use it – face, neck,
chest, hands….. It also treats acne and improves actinic keratosis
or precancerous lesions caused by sun exposure.
