Tretinoin Cream to Treat Pimple Scars on Butt?

Our office has altogether switched from Retin A products to the RR Retinoid Repair Cream because of improved tolerance with the latter. We have felt that the RR cream has less side effects when compared with the retin A products while the results are equivalent. Raffy Karamanoukian MD FACS

That is an outstanding question and one that I have wondered about myself. I don't know if there is an answer. I have pondered if we should limit the use on retinoids based on the Hayflick's ceiling on cellular division but I am not sure where I could find a reference.

We offer a milder form of Retin-A , called Retinal from SkinTx.  Check with your physicians office on what medical grade skin care products they carry.  Always make sure you are using "medical" grade to insure you are getting your money's worth in product.

The only barrier to the use of retinol on just about any skin is the price.  I would focus the product on the most sun damaged areas which are generally the face and hands followed by the upper chest and neck.

Retin-A is only available by prescription in the USA, I would not recommend buying it any where but a physicians office as you can not guarantee what you are actually getting.
