I’ve been using a really weak Tretinoin (Retin A) .025% for over two years. it’s for mild adult acne. a side benefit is that it’s also doing an OK job for aging skin — but I would like it to do more for me in that aspect.
I’m thinking of adding a vitamin C serum. however, I hate adding steps to my routine. I wonder if I should just ask my dermatologist to increase my Tretinoin prescription strength to .050% instead? perhaps all I need is simply a stronger retinoid to do the trick.what do y’all think? my main thing is that I can’t seem to get my age spots to fade — and they’re not even all that dark in the first place. (and yes, I am very good about sunscreen.)maybe a product containing hydraquinoine?
I know in Canada its availabe at the pharmacy without a prescription.It’s called neostrata hq plus..a 2% concentration I believe.I think its what they call a melanine inhibitor.so it works completley different than retinol.still it is an extra step…If you really hate to add steps then you could certainly ask your derm for a stronger prescription. Just be aware that the side effects of redness and irritation may increase as well.
