[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is it that you're trying to accomplish? All depending, you might be too late to the game. You have to use these very regularly for many years to really see a difference, and most women give up long before then because they're not noticing improvement.

What are your goals?

She's 51, not 81.  Yes retinol can help skin texture in your 50s too.

Did you read what I wrote, or did you just skim it? I never said she was "too old".  I said she may be too late to the game because you have to use retinol for several years to see a difference. Daily. Sunscreen every day. Most women give up about 6 months in.  Once you reach 50+ you're of the mindset that you want and need to see immediate improvements - Retinols will not do this for you in that short period of time.  I am not wrong on this. [/quote]

You are wrong on this.[/quote]

It doesn't take years to see noticeable improvements. Tretinoin is backed by science to treat acne. Watch some YouTube videos. It works to turn over skin cells. It's kind of like exfoliating your skin. That's why you need to continue using it, or you will no longer see the benefits of it.

It is true that if you neglected to protect your skin from the sun when younger, then yes, sun damage can be reversed, but it's difficult. [/quote]
