[quote=Anonymous]I'm mid 40s and started using 0.025 tretinoin about 2 years ago. Over the past 2 years I have bumped it up to 0.1. You do need to start low and slower. Your skin will have a reaction and probably start peeling at a fairly rapid rate. I applied with moisturizer at night and started two nights a week up to three for then 5 and never had an issue. I know do .1 three to four times a week. It took three to six months for me to notice any evening out of my skin on the 0.025. when I up to 05 it really helped control monthly acne. Now that I'm at .1 am noticing Fuller skin and a more even skin tone. But again this is been after consistent use for almost 2 years. You have to keep using it in order to continue to see results. My insurance does not cover it but I pay around 40 to $50 a tube which lasts me about 3 months. Other than that I have had no side effects and I continue to use it in the evenings so my skin is not impacted by the sun. [/quote]
