If I use a retinoid on my chin or cheeks, is there a possibility it could cause fading to semi-permanent makeup eyebrows?

Question

Do those skin care products travel far in the skin that it could cause fading to my eyebrows, if it was applied away from it?

Hello Kriskut,Thank you for your question.Applying a retinoid to the cheeks and chin will not effect the brow area. Applying a retinoid to the forehead can cause the brows to lighten sooner.I do have several clients who use their retinoids to the forehead area after being informed that it will fade the pigment quicker, and they have chose to continue to use and just stay away from directly applying to the brow, and have decided to do more brow touch ups to define those areas where pigment has faded rather then not treating the skin on their foreheads.Hope this helps,

Hi  krisku,Any skincare product that accelerates exfoliation has a tendency to fade the brows. As so laser, peels, and microneedling treatments. However, if you have a early retouch, the fading effects will be manageable.All the best, Justin Harper, M.D.
