Can I Use Retin-A Every Night?

Absolutely!!  Retin A is the best skin product on the market!  Not only does it improve the overall appearance of the skin by increasing skin cell turn over, it also stimulates new collagen.  Retin A is the only topical product proven to improve wrinkles.  When first beginning to use Retin A, if you experience flaking and irritation, take a break for a couple of days, but don’t stop completely without consulting your dermatologist.

 

  I generally recommend that Retin A is applied nightly for best results, at least for the first two or three months.  If the side effects become intolerable, then I suggest to my paitents that they back off for a night or two.  After a few months, I think folks can get by with applications two to three times weekly.

Retin-A can be used nightly or every over night.  This will depend on your skin type, condition, and the reason it was prescribed to you.  I recommend starting with the lowest effective dose used nightly (or every other night).
