Thank you for your question. Topical Retin-A is meant to gently exfoliate the skin to removed comedonal acne. If your skin as thinned due to topical steroids, then Retin-A will least likely reverse the atrophy. In my experience, the thinning of your skin from topical steroids will reverse itself naturally but that takes time. I highly recommend you consult with a board certified dermatologist regarding your questions and concerns. Take care and good luck.
