ignore the stinging, burning, peeling and stick with it. it works. try not to get it in your eye and if you do, dont rub, youll make it worse. blink or rinse it out.

Good tips, it's true...once you get past the first hump of stinging and burning skin, it's much easier to tolerate.

the spot on my incision that was causing problems finally scabbed over and theres almost no pain, just numbness. my stomach looks great, its so much easier to run around without all that floppy skin. totally worth it.

Hey there, thanks for keeping your review updated. I started my Retin-A treatment, and I have a question for you -- you mention that you use Retin-A around your eyes, have you had any problems with that so far?

I can understand that ,I find applying a moisturizer 20 minutes before your tretinoin helps with the peeling I do every other night make sure to use a moisturizer with a good spf in the day time and be careful not to get to near your eyes and corners of your mouth this stuff is truly amazing I'm 5 months in and I'm really happy with the way my skin is looking , good luck
