| I'm 23 and am already noticing fine lines on my forehead, around my mouth, and under my eyes. I don't have insurance, so I want to buy it from one of those online stores like inhousepharmacy or one like it. Any suggestions? Also, I've never used it before, so how and when would I apply it? And would amlactin moisturizer be good to wear with it? Overlook my ignorance. I'm new to all of this, but I want to get to my skin before it looks too old. It always looks dull and dry, and can be prone to breakouts. |

| satrt with 0,025% cream. after washing your face, wait 20min then apply a thin layer at night only. repeat 3 times a week, slowly introduing your skin to the product, then once evry other night. also try alldaychemist.com for retin A |

Amlactin contains a pretty high percentage of Lactic Acid an AHA, it's not a good idea to use them together at the same time of the day. You might want to use something that's not also exfoliating when just starting.  |

Would A Ret be the correct one? The generic name is Tretinoin Gel USP, and its strength is 0.025%.
What moisturizer would you suggest to go along with it (as well as anything else that I might want to add to my nightly routine)?
Oh, one more question. I was going to buy one of these for my mother too. She's never used retin A, and is a few years shy of 50. Would I get her the same type? |

For your Mom a tretinoin cream would probably be a better choice.
If you use a moisturizer over the RA be sure to wait an hour after applying the RA to give it time to work. |

Oops, didn't answer this question in my earlier reply. If your skin is dry and you think you need a moisturizer, you may want to try the retin A cream. Then you can skip the moisturizer over it.
If you still want to go with a moisturizer, then you can apply it after the retin A. You should wait 30-60 minutes ideally. Just pick a moisturizer that appeals to you - there are tons of reviews on EDS. Maybe get a few sample sizes until you find one you like. |
