DL Skin experts...

It's not the "retin a". Your body has just started to reject your face.

Har har, har har. Oh how witty r1 is.

(eyeroll)

Did you prep all three areas equally? I'm using a product now, applying it with a gauze pad, and it doesn't seem to have any effect on my face--a tiny bit of flaking--but my fingertips are peeling.

Yes, I do r3. The face peels a lot, which I expected, but no peeling on the hands and chest whatsoever. Strange.

shit, I lost my answer. I don't know OP. Maybe you skin is thicker in those places. I've used high strength products with barely a flake whereas half the other reviews for the same stuff are claiming that their face peeled off.

Forget Retin-A - just go get 'tox-ed

WTF - why are you using Retin A on your chest ?!? It’s meant to make your face skin peel -it’s flaking off the old skin. Just use moisturizer during the day and apply Retin A only at night (when you’re not in the sun).

R8 the dermatologist recommended that I use it on my upper chest.

Interesting - I guess as an anti-carcinogen as that is where I got most of my basal cell skin cancers.

Do any of you skin bitches use "Skin Actives" products?

What did your dermatologist say about the peeling?

I haven't asked about it, but was told retin a was good to use on the neck, chest, and hands, as well as the face.

r13 must be to new to CDL skin threads.

Why do you say that r14?

Can I use Retin A if I'm really fair?

wash face apply noxema wipe off with aveeno lotion on a facecloth apply aveeno bam

Absolutely r16!
