Does retin-a really work on hands?

Kenya89Apr 19, 2020

I have been using retin-a on the backs of my hands for awhile for some creepiness but haven't noticed any changes or any flaking. I'm wondering if it just takes longer or if maybe the skin is too thick.

Tretinoin is safe for use by adults of any age.  There are different strengths and formulations so you should discuss these with your prescribing physician.  It is also possible that there may be other treatments that would be more beneficial to you.
