retin-a micro - i've been getting pretty good results with retin-a micro... been using it for 3 weeks and slowly it is clearing up... not to mention it helps picking up the oil shine. i think this might be a product that takes a little bit of time to work.

retin-a micro - well i went up from retin-a micro 0.04% now to 0.1% today. I was impressed with 0.04%, of course there is and I've had some nasty break outs but they come and go real quick. On week 4, suppose to take 8 weeks before any results are clearly..

Someone told me it thins the skin, which I guess is not good. Anyone
know anything about this? Is it a good reason to avoid it?

Ok, so lets see. RetinAMicro thins the skin, Benzoil Peroxide is a
radical oxidant which prematurely ages the skin, salicylic acid is
GOOD to prevent aging but does little for acne.

I guess you really and truly just cant win.

I dont mean to be a pest, just wanted to keep my question out there
about Retin-A micro. This woman was telling me she's been using
Retin-A for years and that it has wrecked her skin. Basically no
matter how much sunscreen she put on and how many protetice measures
she took, she has a lot of brown spots from the increased sun
sensitivity.

She told me that Retin A makes the skin THINNER, which is not good? We
should be trying to THICKEN our skin, or something, and as we get
older the thinning will become more apparent and gross.

Does ANYONE know anything about this phenom of Retin-A thinning the
skin? I dont want to keep using this stuff if its going to make me
look like Linda Blair in The Exorcist by the time I'm 50.
