Can I get anti-aging benefits from Retin A on body if I use it twice a week?

Question

Can I still get anti-aging benefits maintaining retin a on my body twice a week only? I also exfoliate two to three times a week. I would use it more but the tubes don't last long if I use it more than that. I use the 1 percent cream. I use on face and neck daily because I also get acne.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
