Hi everyone,
I am wondering if it makes sense to eat foods that contain high amounts of anti-inflammatory benefits while on retin-A.
Inflammation is the skins response to something that needs to be healed and retin-A creates an injury, at least initially.
Thanks! |

| I'm not sure what you mean by Retin-A creating injuries. It doesn't work like this. While anti-inflammatory foods (I assume you mean foods high in antioxidants) is a good thing, don't expect it to have direct effects on your skin. It may help, but it probably won't work the way you want it to. Just follow a healthy diet according to your country's nutrition guide and everything should be fine. |

I wouldn't say Retin A is a go-to product for anti-inflammatory needs. The study just says it's more anti-inflammatory than adapalene (and that may not be saying much). Not sure how anti-inflammatory adapalene is, but from personal experience and knowledge of the side effects of Retin-A, it can cause irritation, so saying it's actually anti-inflammatory is not a good statement to make.
