Is it possible to overuse Retin-A?

I prefer more gentle retinoid creams like Retinoid Repair RR cream and its use with Elevase Moisture Booster, an Opti-Ceramide cream for deep moisturization and hydration and Spectrase, which is a wide spectrum sun block (SPF 50+) to prevent sun damage and irritation. See link below. 
Combining them does not reduce effectiveness.

Hi LonnieMae32!Yes it is absolutely possible to overuse Retin-A. You should be applying a very thin layer of the product at night. Some people cannot use it nightly, and choose to use it every other night. There is a chance your skin just cannot handle the prescription strength Retin-A. In that case, you are going to want to find a retinol or retinal. Stay away from drug store brands, which use retinyl esters. You wont see much benefit from these. Retinol and Retinal are the storage forms of Retinoic Acid. There is a pathway for these forms to convert to Retinoic Acid (prescription strength) when your skin needs it. There is no pathway for Retinoic Acid to convert to the storage form, so your skin uses every bit you put on, so apply sparingly!You may want to pick up a retinol or retinal and ease yourself into using the full prescription strength Retinoic Acid. In the meantime, stop using it all together. Give your skin about a month to recover from the effects of what has happened. Best of luck!
