How long does Retin A take to work on wrinkles?
If you’re using topical tretinoin to reduce wrinkles, discoloration, age spots, and/or rough feeling skin, it can take 3–4 months or up to six months before you see results.
How often should you use Retin A for wrinkles?
However, it takes three to six months of regular use before improvements in wrinkles are apparent—and the best results take six to 12 months. Because retinoids can cause skin dryness and irritation, doctors often recommend using them only every other day at first and then gradually working up to nightly applications.
Does Retin A help with sagging skin?
Tretinoin is STILL the gold standard in anti-aging skin care products. It won’t help with sagging due to loss of fat and bone over the years though.
Does Retin really work for wrinkles?
When Retin-A is applied to the skin cells, the cells mature and begin to express different proteins. The important aspect is really the effectiveness of what Retin-A does. Studies have shown that Retin-A can help reduce wrinkles, reduce acne, exfoliate dead skin cells and redistribute melanin.
Do I need to moisturize before applying Retin?
It is an unhealthy habit to moisturize before applying Retin-a treatments. The increased hydration will aggravate the symptomatic appearance of skin irritation and all other side-effects of applying Retinoid creams. This is a misconception often practiced with night-time specified creams and masks.
What is a good moisturizer to use with Retin-A?
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream.
Can I get Botox while using Retin-A?
Botox helps address fine lines and wrinkles. Botox is a purified protein that temporarily blocks the communication between the muscles and nerves where it is injected. It is perfectly safe and reasonable to continue using Retin-A and receive botox at the same time.
