Hello! I have been using .5% tretinoid since October of 22and have had 3 co2 cool peel treatments between December and March. Im in my mid 30s and still have fine lines around my eyes and deep wrinkles in my forehead, oily skin, and you can see every pore on my face. Acne is gone but nothing else has changed. I cleanse with cerve, moisturize, use niacidmide serum, and eye cream with Hyaluronic. I take otc biotin and collagen pills. How do I get smooth clear pretty skin? I have combo skin.
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.
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 have acne on my cheeks and chin. I have been using Tretinoin .1% Cream with Cetaphil foaming cleanser and Aveeno Daily Moisturizing lotion. Theyre the only products that dont make my face burn while using the tretinoin. I have been using all 3 of these for about 5-6 months. The acne has not gotten better and my skin continues to peel.
Hello! I have used Tretinoin 0,05% for the past 2 months to improve texture, glow and prevent lines. I have used it every night since I started as my skin is not sensitive and Im too impatient to start slowly. The first month I peeled to an extreme extent, whilst now you can only see the peel when I apply makeup. Now, when my skin is bare, its become so glowy and I receive lots of compliments. But makeup still looks so-so, as Im apparently still dried out. How long will this last? Thank you!
I have been taking Retin A for about 5 months now I started with 0.025 for the first 3 months and now on 0.05%. My skin has been peeling still I was wondering how long it would take for my skin to stop being flaky and peeling? At 3 months it had kinda stopped since my skin was getting used to the 0.025% but now Im on 0.05%.
Hello Switched my retin-A 0.05% creme to a 0.1% gel and my face turned into a peel off-mask (kind of fun picking your skin), cannot be constantly flaky and red - It's nasty looking. Since My reaction to the stronger concetration is heavy peeling, should I peel my skin once a week with 0.1% and use 0.05% other nights? And is sealing serum and moisturiser into my skin with vaseline ok? It seems to work. Thank you :-)
My doctor recommended Retin-A as a treatment for Keratosis pilaris on my arms, I am using 0.05 tretinoin cream for about 2 weeks now, but my condition is much worse, my skin is red, itchy and it's peeling like crazy. What should I do right now? I can't stand this treatment anymore
I used tretinoin gel on my face to reduce acne and to reduce the acne scars. The gel came in contact with the sun. My skin is now peeling. It feels like I have a sunburn and I don't know what to do. Please help me.
