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.
