A very good doctor. I have been acne prone since 12 years of age then I had an organ transplant and was put on immunosuppressice drugs which can make you very prone to skin cancers and..came along retin A micro. The best part is Reti A is the best anti aging cream on the market. Living proff here!

what DR let you use this for 25 years?????????
November 14th, 2009 at 4:13 pm
I have used Retin A for 25 years. 47 years old and not a single line or wrinkle on my face. Three years ago started using Retin A like lotion on chest arms trunk and legs with great results. Retin A also works on lips. NEVER use Retin A has a daytime product.

is this like a spot treatment?

Yay! im so happy i have retin-a perscription.
November 14th, 2009 at 5:13 pm
Yes, retin-a actually helps with skin redness/rosacea but you should get the lowest dosage so as to not aggravate your skin

Do you know if a person has sensitive skin/redness could use retin-a like me? Thanks

Do you know if I could use retin-a if my skin is super sensitive? I have redness. Thanks

o and use vanicream for moisturizer free of oils dyes and chemicals and fragrence awesome stuff its at walgreens for about 15 bucks

i use retin a gel 0.025 works great for my acne use every other night i agree because that stuff will make you peel like crazy. burns like a sob as well. you will notice new membranes on the surface but they clear up. its all the same thing but it comes in cream and gel gel being the best.

yes thats what im using it for and it is seriously working, i didnt think a cream existed that can get rid of acne marks.. but im using the .5%
November 14th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
.1% of the retin-a cream is what im currently using.
November 14th, 2009 at 9:53 pm
what strength are you using
November 14th, 2009 at 10:12 pm
does it help get rid of brown marks from acne? like when i had acne and didnt do anything to it and went away it just turned into a brown mark, but it’s not like a ice pick scar or anything.

Yes, Renova has a more emollient base to combat peeling/drying in contrast to Retin-A. They both contain tretinoin though.
November 14th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
omg! retin-a and renova are both tretinoin. why did she say you can find it with natural skin care products. geez. they are both rx products. im 23 and have been on retin-a and tazorac since 17. i love the results and i get an enormous amount of compliments on my skin. i use it every other night now.

I am currently researching about all retinol products and you are 100% right! Retin-A and Renova have exactly the same ingredients just different bases! Renova is for drier skin because the base is made more moisturizing but they say it will not be that great for oilier and acne prone skins as it might cause break outs.
November 15th, 2009 at 1:18 am
Renova is better for your skin!
November 15th, 2009 at 1:30 am
Retin-A and Renova both contain the same active ingredient, Tretinoin. The difference is the base (inactive ingredients) and that Renova has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of lines and wrinkles. I do wish skin care “experts” would do their research before giving out the wrong information!

Thanks for the info!
I’ve been reading about retinoids in Dr.Leslie Baumann’s book “The Skin Type Solution”.
They sound like amazing substances!
I’m looking forward to seeing what they can do with the fine lines which striate my forehead.
sigh…why didn’t I wear sunscreen while I was working construction and tree planting.
…well. i guess because i just didn’t know how damaging the sun’s rays are.
i do now. : (
I wish some kindly adults had told me irrefutably that the sun wrinkles skin.

the more balanced it is though and the less it breaks out. I now use it 2-3 times a week when I don’t use the retin a and leave it on all night. LOVE IT!Try it on just a part of your face and see if it works for you. Cleopatra used it, so I guess it can’t be all that bad : )

I really thought it would! Of course I’m in my 30’s so it might break someone out who has acne prone skin. I’m using the retin a for anti aging not acne. I have found that the more moisturized my skin is,
November 15th, 2009 at 2:28 am
doesn’t olive oil break you out?
November 15th, 2009 at 3:16 am
can i use Differin 0.1 also with Retin a on every third night? and i am also taking Droxy capsule everynight.
