Did Retin-A cause dry eyes in anyone here?

[Soalian]

The risk of getting dry eyes and/or MGD on the long run is the main thing I fear from starting a Tretinoin regimen,

did anyone get dry eyes with Tretinoin use?

Thanks.

Isn't that subreddit full of middle-aged women though?

It is supported by plenty of studies like this one

All-trans retinoic acid increases oxidative metabolism in mature adipocytes - PubMed

The results indicate that RA directly favors remodeling of mature 3T3-L1 adipocytes in culture toward increased oxidative metabolism.

Yes I'm weighing this trade-off rn tbh, potential for fat loss and/or dry eyes, versus more collagen, thicker skin, and damage repair from hyperpigmentation (huge benefit in my case).

Hopefully I can find products to replace tretinoin with, for all the benefits mentioned above.

Castor oil is legit collagen booster, all u need is clear/thick/hydrated/nourished skin with collagen support and subcutaneous fat pads preservation

All of this associated in deep with counteracting bone resorption process by aging

Why would you take oral vitamin A and potentially risk getting either carotenosis or hypervitaminosis A when you can just topically and locally apply the vitamin A and experience localized benefits instead of shit that might make your hair fall out, like mine is right now from vitamin A overdose.

I don't take mentally ill doses, what the point if ur body can't use it daily, the rest is stocked if non used

Didn't find much info about castor oil and collagen, but it's simple though:

either I keep Tretinoin and I don't apply it near the eyes to minimize fat loss, or I dump Tretinoin for other products for collagen, but they maybe won't be as effective.

I personally use retin-a but don’t apply it near my eyes. But I already had dry eyes from years of use of tazorac during HS.

Ok, now what do you do against dry eyes? Are eye drops effective?
