Do you put it under your eyes and in the crow's feet area? This is something I didn't ask my dermatologist, and I've read lots of conflicting stuff online. I have fine lines under my eyes and really would like to use Retin-A on them.
I probably put Retin-A in my under eye area every other night or every three nights, but I do every night on the rest of my face. If you do it under your eyes, do you use a lower strength in this area? I move up to .1% soon, but I don't want to use this strength on delicate under eye skin.
Re: Another Retin-A Question
Anything you can achieve through hard work, you could also just buy.
I don't mean to hijack your post but I just received Retin-A Micro .04 from my derm last week. I haven't started it yet - she wanted me to try the duac for a week by itself before introducing the Retin-A to make sure I didn' thave a reaction. Anyway, can you tell me about the different strengths? Is .04 a pretty low dose? Derm said to use every night but based on my own research I think I might start off at every second evening.
No problem at all! That is a medium strength dose and can definitely cause some irritation. There is a .025%, .05% (and apparently .04%
, and the strongest is .1%. I Started with .05 and my Derm said to start with every other day. I only skipped one night and then rushed into every night. Bad idea, because my skin turned extremely red. It looked terrible. So I definitely recommend every other night for a while before every night.
