How long have you been using Retin-A? Some mild peeling isn't uncommon in the adjustment period+
but it shouldn't last long and/or become more severe. I would cut back to 3 x a week (still effective) and buffer or mix with a more emollient moistur

If your skin is fine with this strength and frequency stick with it. A higher strength/using more ro
often isn't necessarily any more effective but dramatically increases risk of irritation and Retin-A irritation is very countereffective (aging; damag

Are you buffering/mixing with moisturizer? 0.05% is quite a high strength to start with and already+
using it every other night is very fast. Retin-A irritation is cumulative and might hit right out of the blue and then it takes a long time for the sk

I use Tretinoin Cream 0.02%, 3 x a week, mixed with some moisturizer. I've been using it for almost+
4.5 years now. I never experienced any irritation/flaking despite having dry, sensitive Rosacean skin. I also apply around my eyes and on my neck & up

I just got a response from Dr. Jetske Ultee. There's good reason why protection against the sun rop
is even more important when using Retin-A (or any other retinoid), acids like BHA/AHA etc and several other active ingredients. Sun exposure, exposure

I started using Tretinoin Cream 0.02% almost 4.5 years ago. I noticed smoother skin within 6 weeks.+
In general it takes 4-8 weeks to notice smoother skin; 6-10 months to notice slight fading of hyperpigmentation and at least 8-12 months to notice any

Ahh, I see. Moisturising is key. Either by buffering or mixing with moisturizer. Any moisturizer rop
(or serum and/or oil) will do as long as its gentle & unfragranced. Ingredients like niacinamide, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, ceramides, adenosine

40 years?! and you still have irritation? It means it's way too strong for your skin to handle. rop
You're damaging your skin and even worse, it won't do anything for anti-aging; quite the opposite. Switch to a lower strength and/or more gentle form

Retinoid irritation is caused by misusage/overusage or by the fact someone isn't able to tolerate ro
retinoids all together. Using a too high strength; too often; too much and/or using on already irritated/damaged skin cause/worsen Retin-A (or Taz, Di
