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.
What is better for anti aging? Tretinoin 0.5% or tazarotene 0.1%? What can be used? AHA or BHA? Any advice on how to apply the retinoid? I only know it should be applied to clean dry skin at night. Can i mix it with lotion or cream? Can i put a moisturizing cream or hyaluronic acid over it? I have noticed most dermatologists have flawless skin which i am assuming its from their daily topical skin care routine and trying their lasers? Any serums or moisturizer you would recommend? Physical or chemical blocks? (I have a beard and physical sunscreen makes beard all white). Currently i use cetaphil cleanser, caudalie premier cru le serum, Dermaceutic Tri Vita C30 - 30% Vitamin C Serum, sun screen. Nocte i only use tazarotene without any moisturizer. Thanks in advance.
Diagnosed Issues: mild rosacea, sun spots, mild melasma, wrinkles Dermatologist put on when you can and when I asked her when or in what order her response was to ask my pharmacist. I replied that I am a pharmacist but I am unsure when to apply for optimal results. She responded that I can Google it. She's nice but I'm seeking another dermatologist haha In what order or what times do I put on the following products: Tretinoin cream Metrogel Hydroquinone Moisturizer Vitamin C or E serum
I have freckles, and they get very dark in the summer and I love them! I have been using Olay Max retinol moisturizer to help prevent wrinkles. This summer I noticed my freckles were virtually non-existent. I am wondering if it's because of the retinol in my moisturizer? If so, what other drug store moisturizers can I use to help with wrinkles, but keep my freckles!?
I recently reintroduced tretinoin into my skincare routine for acne scars and acne. i did tretinoin before but had to stop because my skin would never stop peeling. however i am trying again this time and have been using it on top of either cerave moisturizing cream or FAB ultra repair cream. i have had almost no side effects at all, and i am wondering, if I am usually very sensitive to tretinoin, does no side effects mean it is not working?
