[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started for melasma and aging, at 44. My skin became reddish all of the time, and I developed more hyperpigmentation. It did not help the melasma at all.  I was using a prescription of .025. I think it just exposed my “new” skin to the sun causing the pigmentation. This was with daily strong sunscreen and wearing hats for walks. The experience made me highly sun avoidant, making social outings worrisome.

I would consider restarting a winter only regiment.  I did not experience breakouts at all but did get peely dry skin. But now I’m also worried by the possibility of fat loss under my eyes. [/quote]
This is good to know.  My melasma flares whenever I get sun, I haven't started tret out of fear of making it worse.  FYI - I'm 50 and Mediterranean. My skin texture is good, other than a couple of expression lines, and my biggest signs of aging are the beginnings of sagging and loss of volume.  Not sure that retinoids would do all that much for me.[/quote]
