I'm 27 old and I have childhood scars and dark spots on my face. Combination skin more of the dry side if I to use retin A . Can I use it with regular moisturizer like Olay night cream or a Bioderma moisturizer? I live in a hot, humid and dusty area (Middle East). I don't leave the house that much but I use the AC a lot in here so It could be drying.

Hello, I'm 31 and I started using retin a cream 0.05% 1 month ago for anti aging purposes specially around the eyes. I'm able to use it every day ( my face, neck and a tiny tiny bit mixed with moisturizer around the eyes) with no irritation, just some peeling. The problem is on my eyelids. My skin there is extremely crepey like an old lady and I don't know if it's normal. Did the retin a detroyed my eyelids or it is going to come back to normal after some time ? Thank you a lot.
Black 28F. i thought i had milia under my eyes but upon further research i believe it is syringoma. i've been looking into treatments and have seen erbium laser as one, but i am concerned about discoloration under my eyes. I've just started using Medik8 r-Retinoate eye serum because i thought i had milia. i've read online nothing topical will help syringoma but would like other opinions
black, 28F. i've recently gotten a prescription for tretinoin, however i've had a dermatologist tell me these bumps on my skin are not acne and there pretty much wasn't anything else they could do. looking for alternatives or anything i should use in conjunction to tretinoin
Hi. PI have male pattern baldness Im 26 and Im a Norwood 5. Im currently on finasteride. I went to the dermatologist last week for skin issues and she prescribed me tretinoin cream for my face. Can Can tretinoin cream speed up male pattern baldness if I use it on my face? Ive read that retinol can do that. Why do oral retinols cause hair loss and topicals dont? Please answer all my questions. Thank you very much.
Hello. I'm male, 29 y. Fair Mediterranean skin type. My question: Is it safe to use chemical Sunscreens with Tretinoin? I read that Tretinoin thins out the outermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum. I also read that chemical Sunscreens need an intact stratum corneum to work. Does using Tretinoin therefore render chemical Sunscreens ineffective or is it a safe combination? Thank you very much.
I am getting ready to begin use of tretinoin for anti-aging. I am 32. I do not have active acne but I do consider myself to have sensitive skin prone to breakouts. Ive been given a prescription for .025 tretinoin cream but Im wondering if a compounded version with other ingredients such as niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, etc with the .025 tretinoin would be better to start with ? Or is the tube if regular tret cream just as good?
I have been using Tretinoin .05% regularly for about 2 months now. Most of my face is making great improvements both with fine lines and cystic hormonal acne. However, my lower mouth area and chin have not only been red and peeling (which I expected), but it is very bumpy with small under the skin zits? Now my chin has the texture of a Pringles potato chip. Is this just my skin purging and this will improve? I am 34 and did not have any fine lines in this area prior.
I'm a 29 year old male that wants to start tretinoin for anti-aging reasons, however I practice Brazilian jiu jitsu (a grappling sport very similar to judo or wrestling) several times a week. I heard tretinoin can make your skin more sensitive so could this possibly end up making my skin worse or is there something extra I need to do to make sure I get the benefits with no downsides? I currently use sunscreen everyday with vitamin c serum, cleanser and moisturiser as well.
