Retin A for Eye Area - my Wrinkles Are Worse Now?

At this point in time there are many, many versions of Retin-A on the market and many makers of the product. Some are gels, some creams. The brand name isn't important. The tolerability of your skin with the product is what you need to worry about.

I would recommend 0.025% Retin-A cream.  Start using it slowly every 2-3 days, at night only.  Then move up to everyother night...and eventually getting into evey night as tolerated.  You can put eye cream or moisturizer on prior to your RetinA for better tolerance. Hope this...

When you first start using these treatments, start slowly and alternate them.  Wash with a gentle cleanser and dry your face, wait about 10 minutes if you have the time, use the clindamycin one night and the Retin-A the next night.  They can both be somewhat drying and irritating,...
