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.

Does retin counteract accutane?
Retin-A is usually not used with Accutane. It is not because one counteracts the other one, though. It is because using Retin-A can cause increased skin irritation when used with Accutane. You don't need any more skin irritation!
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.
Is there a natural substitute for Retin-a?
no there is no natural subsitute for a retin-a
How long does it take for retin-a to work?
When you begin any new skincare regimen, you should usually give a minimum of six weeks for your skin to adjust. Retin-A is no different. Sometimes it may even take a bit longer. The important thing to keep in mind with Retin-A is not to overdo it. If your skin hurts or is peeling too much, skip a couple days. Just like with soap, using too much Retin-A strips your skin of natural oils and creates an overproduction of oil to compensate, often causing breakouts. My advice: use this product only once a day in a very thin layer, use a gentle exfoliant in the morning (to get rid of dead skin from Retin-A), and follow with an oil-free moisturizer (I recommend Avalon Organics oil-free vitamin C). If you do not give this enough time, you will never know for sure whether or not it works for you.

How can you get a trial card for a Retin-A Micro Pump?
I got it from my dermatologist.
Which is better Differin or tretinoin?
It depends on your skin type. Some people do very well on regular Retin A aka tretinoin. If you have more sensitive skin usually Retin A Micro, Differin cream or gel or Tazorac aka Tazarotene cream or gel are usually really good alternative's. I bought a big 40 gram tube of the Retin A 0.05% online without a prescription from http://www.brandnameskincream.com it's middle strength and I only need a pea size. I've been using it for about 3 months now. I only use it every other day or so or my skin will peel like a snake. It has helped my acne stay under control and has really helped with reducing my sun spots I got from the tanning bed. I'm actually looking younger now instead of older and wrinkled from the tanning bed. I am always getting comments on how good my skin looks now and I never got that before. So I'm really happy with the results.
