Can I use Retin-A on a q-tip to get rid of my age spots instead of putting all over my face?

Retin-A is best used all over the face to reduce signs of aging and sun damage. You can then spot-treat the darker spots with a bleaching agent or light/laser therapy to help blend those areas to the rest of your skin. Hope this helps!Johnson C. Lee, MD

Retin A is a great anti aging tool and should be used all over your face (except delicate eyelid skin)  It helps with fine lines, age spots, wrinkles and sun damage. It is important to use sunscreen as your skin will be more sensitive. Best of luck to you.
