I exfoliate my lips and use moisturizers (in addition to hydrating) and still I feel like I can't get that smooth, wrinkle-free finish on my lips. It makes me look older and I hate the way it looks with lipstick. Since Retin-a can help with the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face, I was wondering if that is also true of the lip skin.
Hi, I have fordyce spots on the vermillion border which have pretty much hidden my lip line. I went to a dermatologist last month and he prescribed me with Retino-A, to be put on the lips for a month, every night. I read up on Retino-A and have heard that it's harmful to ingest orally, so I haven't started my course as yet. Wanted to get a second opinion on this! Could you please suggest if C02 superpulse lasers can help in removing these fordyce spot clusters? I've had this for 10 years.
Hi, I've been using a oil containing Retin-A to my face almost nightly since early May. I love how my skin feels since. But now my lips have became hyperpigmented! That is the only change in my regimen. I already also use a product with azelaic acid and AHA too. Since stoping it's use around the lips the progression seems to have stopped. Question is will it remain?
Hi, I have used tretinoin for over 6 months to help with the wrinkles. I have used it at night, and sunscreen during the day even though I live in New England (USA) and winter days are grey and short. The last two weeks, I have developed a rash on the chin area that is spreading above the lip and cheeks. It looks like tinny red bumps, kind of acne but tinny. Is there anything you would suggest? Thank you.
How do I use Retin A to remove wrinkles and lines? What strength should I buy? I will need it especially around my lips, mouth, neck and eyes. Is Tretinoin cream the same? I have been using this 0.1% for a couple of years but have seen no difference. Maybe I am using it wrong or not frequently enough? Does it also tighten up the saggy skin?
Id like to speed up reabsorption of HA fillers around my lips and under eyes with pelleve. Do I have to take a break from retin-a? If so, when should I stop using it before the trestment? Thank you.
I am of Indian decent. The pigmentation above my lip only appeared when I was around 11 years. I've tried many creams to no avail. I recently had skin peels to help with the pigmentation/acne scarring, this has helped improve the appearance slightly, but it is still noticeable. Would 0.01% suffice? Or should I go for a higher percentage? Are there any alternatives? Many thanks.
I have always had lips with dark edges. Recently, they seem to have become darker! I am 28, and do not smoke. I use sunscreen regularly. I have very recently started using Retin A. I have read that applying almond oil helps, but I want to be sure of what I do. Thank you, in advance, for your time.
