Is there much differerence between .02% and .05% Renova...My dermatologist gave my samples of both and said .02 was Very Weak...I have thin, fragile, fair skin, any experience?

I use 0.05 and I have fair, sensitive skin.
I have quite a lot of trouble with it
flaking and a little irritation sometimes.
I can't use it every night. It helps to
add a little moisturizer with it if you
want to use it all the time. Unfortunately
for me, I need it close to the eye area and
I just can't use it there - my eyes burn
if I do. Good luck. It does work tho.
Renova with an occasional "lunch hour peel"
really seemed to help my skin.

i started using tretinoin at .05% and my skin was burning, itching and peeling like crazy. but your skin does eventually get used to it. now i use .1% and i am classified as having moderately sensitive skin (i have allergies). my skin still peels, but the irritation is gone and the flaking isn't noticeable to anyone but me. i've been using it for 3 months now (first 2 months sporadically).
