What's the consensus on Retin-A, seriously?

[CtrlAltDelete]

I have a 0.05% tube. Wtf do I do now, do I use it daily or is it bad? I have 0 acne.

I want to use it for anti-aging

Yeah, you can put it every 2 days, it removed my small comedones or however, it's called. Try to mix it with Vit C or retinol in liquid form for the best result

Depends how old you are tbh, I wouldn't use it if I was any younger than 24.

I've been on it for a couple years and I've been getting ID'd for buying fucking energy drinks when I am nearly 30.
Baby face tbh but I'm sure the tretinoin has been helping.

I heard rumours that it depletes facial fat pads though so I don't use it around my eyes except for on the "crows feet"

If you're worried about potential fat pad depletion, there's no harm in only using it on your forehead tbh tbh.

I'm 18 but I get told I look 21-22, I don't look like I've "aged" but it's just because I have masculine features for the most part as well as facial stubble almost all the time.

I'll probably just use it around the area under my jaw so that I can minimize submental fat, as well as on my forehead I guess.

I use it daily it removed all my hyperpigmentation and made my undertones and skin even. Didn't experience any kind of volume loss

How many times do you use it a day and when do you do it?

I heard once before bed is good.

Before bed. 0.05%

Does it help with scarrings? True scars or is that only with microneedling?

I never had acne but I suppose it can help yes.

like with everything people see it as a cure for everything and godsend drug. just get to a point where your skin can take 0.05 max everyday or eod and you will see pretty good results overall in skin quality, that's it and fuckingt enough for investment you will make

so more than worth using

You use it in low sun months and you tan in the summer, at least that's what i do.

 

[SixCRY]

i usd 0.1% everyday even under eye , i don't believe in fat loss bullshit

 

[rawdogprince]

i have used it for 5 years. It's really good. Removed my forehead lines, acne, nose pores, t-zone pores, smoothed out my skin.

Not every day because it dries out my skin. 1-3 times a week depending on what I feel like.
