Has anyone ever tried Retin A? If so with what results?

i tried it to use against acne. i ended up getting very peel-y skin but i don't really think my skin cleared up. i am taking a foreign bought birth control pill to help with that that blocks testosterone. my skin has cleared up almost perfectly.

i guess i dont' really have fine lines yet. i'm sorry! :)

it made my face break out in zits!

Kittenhasawhip is pretty much right. I am a licensed esthetican, so I am very familiar with retin A. It does work, however, it does have it's side effects. It will make your skin sensitive, especially to the sun. It's crucial you wear a broad spectrum sunscreen, atleast an SPF of 30. It's important to apply the retin A to areas of concern, instead of putting it on your entire face. You should go to a dermatologist, so they can look at your specific needs. Also, if you do any type of waxing (eyebrow,lip) Retin A is a contraindication, due to the fact it makes the skin so sensitive. You should try it though, because it works differently for everyone, and you won't know until you try it. You can also find products with Retin A in it, instead of using a pure Retin A product. Hope that helps.

I tried the vegetable-derived kind, with no results whatsoever. Sigh. A wrinkle is a wrinkle forever, I guess....
