Retin A Vs. Chemical Peel (Jessner/Blue Peel) on 43 Year Old Skin? (photo)

January 10, 2013
Asked By:Emanze

So I've been bad. I sunbathed. A LOT. Yet, my skin is clear, no age spots.Having oily skin has helped keep wrinkles in check.I'm now considering either going on Retin-A or a chemical peel. Few years ago I had a blue peel and thought I was going to have a heart attack. I'm a wimp but it felt like hot concrete was being poured on my face. It did take a brown spot or 2 with it. It was torture but it worked. If I can get the same results with Retin-A, I'd much prefer it. Thank you for any advice!
