From board-certified doctors and trusted medical professionals
Yes, Retin-A can be used on the neck and chest but get specific instructions from your prescribing doctor. A moisturizer will help prevent irritation, especially in these more sensitive areas. It can be applied before or after the Retin-A micro.
Retin A should not result in lip thinning. In fact, retinoids stimulate collage production. i cannot say they would plump the lips but they should not thin them
Retinoids, such as Retin A micro, accelerate skin exfoliation, or shedding. This is most noticable at the beginning of treatment. Although exfoliation continues with treatment, it slows down and becomes less noticable over time.
