I'm 24 years old and I started using retinoids to treat my textured skin.

Question

Is it too early to use retinoid for 24 years old? I also use it to treat the frown on my forehead and the obvious nasolabial line. What happened to the 30 years old me if I continuously use the retinoid?

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Retinoids and Retin A can cause exfoliation, dryness, and skin sensitivity; especially when using other exfoliants such as glycolic acid or salicylic acid. If you are using retinoids around the face, you may want to use a ceramide moisturizer such as Elevase Moisture Booster to help strengthen the skin's natural moisture barrier function.
