Still had a lot of sun damage so I decided to get a CO 2 laser and Botox and filler in my chin scar. Great results!

Been using generic Retin-A (Tretinoin cream .05%) since February and I recommend it especially if you're like me trying to avoid plastic surgery and injections. I've never had either so this is a great alternative. I use it every night before bed. At first it made my skin peel and look flaky but now I have no side effects.

Hi how Long did it take for the peeling and flakiness to subside and end? I'm using 0.025% every night for the past 2mths and the peelings still not done and over with. Also, I'm experiencing flushing and pinkish toned skin now.

Keep going - it only gets better. I have been using the Obagi system (retin A based) and it has really improved my skin. The key is consistency so you don't go through the redness-peeling cycle again and again. You are looking fabulous!
