Will Retin-A help with jowls and slight sagging of the face?

June 14, 2018
Asked By:emily11145 in Columbus, GA

I am 21 and recently I’ve noticed my face sagging a little bit. I don’t know if it’s from lack of sleep from my baby keeping me up all night or the fact that I’ve gained 15 pounds from what I was pre-pregnancy. My cheeks look like they are sliding down and I have slight jowls now? Can this be reversed if I lose weight? Or would retin- a help?

Sachin S. Parikh, MD says:

Retin A is safe for all skin types, but you are correct, you need to use a good sunscreen daily.  Using a zinc and titanium sunscreen is the safest.  Avoid prolonged time in the sun, wear sunscreen, hats, ect and you will be fine. Best of luck!
