Reviews for Tretinoin to treat Photoaging of the Skin

Retin-A (tretinoin): I've been using Retin-A for two months. I was concerned about some mild signs of photoaging of the skin (surface wrinkles, uneven texture), blackheads on my nose and enlarged pores.
Retin-A has done wonders for my skin: it's texture is more even and although the blackheads and enlarged pores aren't completely gone, they've improved considerably.
If you have these concerns, I definitely recommend using this product - but you have to be patient.

Atralin (tretinoin): I have tried a variety of Retin A creams and gels which caused my skin to be overly sensitive. Atralin has not caused any skin sensitivity and is working great.

Atralin (tretinoin): Atralin has a really nice consistency, seems to be mildly moisturizing, and didn't irritate my skin, perhaps because I'd been using a much milder tretinoin compound already. I love the improved texture of my skin after nine months of use. Rather than irritating my rosacea (I'm 51 years old), it speeds up the sloughing that I experience so that the episodes are shorter. My doctor and I discovered years ago that adding a tretinoin compound improved the results from using the rosacea product. Incredibly expensive but worth it.

tretinoin: It is like magic. If you want to look younger use it. It needs to be used for a long time. years for example. No side effects apart from mild irritation goes with time and sensitivity to sun. The gel once in the evening is my recommendation.

Retin-A (tretinoin): This medication may be great for those struggling with extreme oiliness and acne, but it actually caused me to break out! I wanted the benefits of it's ability to help strengthen collagen and help with evening out skin tone etc... but I got overly dry super sensitive acne ridden skin instead. I recently waxed areas of my face that needed it, even after not using the product a couple of days and I was bleeding! I've never had this problem before. My skin has always been very resilient and able to handle most anything. But it doesn't seem to agree with this product. I will have to find a different approach to maintaining my youth.
