Yes it can be used in conjunction with retina a. I have acne that become as big as a mosquito bite. I have tried to hide it by using a bandage. I have had enough of having two white headed pimples. Therefore I went to a dermatologist. I told him I was using Rein A and he suggested that I use Clindamycin at bed time along with the retin a. Directions that were given to me were use the retin a as directed by applying a small amount onto face avoiding the eye areas. Then apply a small amount of the Clindamycin on top. I have used these for a month and have not had any large breakouts that I use to have.

Using Retin A to Fight Wrinkles?
One characteristic that gives youthful skin its natural glow is rapid cell turnover. Aging women and men can get the same effect by applying Retin A. Used by dermatologists as an acne treatment for decades, Retin A comes in cream form for fighting wrinkles. A dermatologist can prescribe the prescription strength, or you can purchase wrinkle cream with lower-strength retinols in the cosmetic department. Always follow Retin-A treatment with a moisturizer as the increased cell turnover can be drying to the skin. Since skin on the neck is much thinner than that of the face, avoid using full-strength Retin A on this area.
What does Retin A do for the skin?
While retin A was discovered for acne treatment to treat the problem of pimples, blackheads, and oily skin in many teenagers and adults, when its anti wrinkle effects were noticed, it fast became popular as an anti aging cream and today retin A is widely used as an anti wrinkle cream. Today retin A for wrinkles is known more than retin A for acne treatment. Derived from vitamin A, retin A is the most powerful natural exfoliating agent, wqhich sloughs off the dead upper layer of the skin to unleash or uncover the fresh and younger skin underneath, free from wrinkles, pimples, dark spots, blackheads and other blemishes. Also repeated and regular use of retin A as an anti wrinkle cream not only removes acne, pimples and fine lines but also helps in tightening the overall look of the skin to give the appearance of fresh firm skin, thus solving the problem of many women suffering from lose and sagging skin. Retin A goes into the deepest layers of the skin at the ultimate cellular level to repair the damage at that level for a more effective and lag lasting cure for wrinkles and pimples. Retin A for wrinkles works by increasing the cell's turnover, thus stimulating collagen production at the cellular level, which not only helps in clearing out the fine lines and creases in the skin but also firming the overall complexion and look and of the skin making it look more supple and elastic. and I generally purchase this Retin A cream from IAS http://www.antiaging-systems.com
