49 years old, I started using Retin A 0.5% (perscription) about 3 months ago. I started once a week for 4 weeks, twice a week for 4 weeks, 3 times a week for 4 weeks now if I try 4 times a week I peel and flake. My quesion is will I ever be able to build up to 4 times or a more a week without peeling and flaking?
