Is anyone here using this? I'd love to talk about this with someone.

Hi! I know that Retin A is supposed to be very helpful with antiaging and many people fighting aging use products with Retin A in them. I believe that Retin A helps the reproduction of new cells by peeling off dead cells from the skin. Beware: your face will probably peel and be very dry but many think that it is worth it!

Thanks for responding Ladylynn.

Yes, I've read about it and just started using it. I bought some in Mexico a couple of weeks ago. CHEAP. The thing is I didn't know there was a cream and a gel. I bought the gel which is apparently stronger.
So many restrictions with this gel unlike the cream. You can't put it near your eyes, or nostrils or mouth. I was just wondering if anyone else was using the gel.
I've started out with my chin area and yes I have some slight peeling. No big deal. Results take about 2 months, apparently.
