Is Retin-A worth getting for its anti-wrinkle properties? Is stuff like Relaxaline and cellex-c better than it?

Hi Lily and welcome to the forum,

In January of this year I began using the Obagi system complete with Retin A micro. I have seen a dramatic improvement in my skin and fine wrinkles seem to have vanished.

I think the retin A micro along with the Vit C serums are the two things that gave me the best results.

Good luck with whatever you decide I think for most of us it is trial and error.

Hi Lily and some,
I am 38 and used retin a micro which is prescription. I use Vivier vit C serum and between that retin a and Obagi I no longer have any discolorations left from acne. It also got rid of sun damage and melasma that I had from being in the sun and being on the pill.

Hi some,
Your post showed twice but here goes anyway. I used Vivier vitamin c 20% serum. I think it was a combination of Obagi with retin a micro that make such an improvement in my skin.

Thanks for your post. Have you tried the Vivier TMR (topical muscle relaxant)? Have you heard anything about it?

Hi some,
Obagi should only be used under the care of a dermatologist. You would need to consult with one so they could provide the best obagi products for you. I didn't use some products that maybe they would prescribe for you and vice versa.

No lily I haven't tried it yet but have looked at it a few times and wondered if it is good.
