Retin-A is used to treat acne and sun-damaged skin. It can speed up the life cycle of skin cells by making them divide and die faster, so newer cells can surface. This helps improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and dark spots.
How to use Retin-A for wrinkles?
Retin-A or tretinoin is easy to use. Simply apply the cream to the face in the evening.
- First, wash your face. Avoid using skin irritating products.
- Gently pat your face dry and wait 20-30 minutes before moving on.
- Apply a small amount of Retin-A. Take a pea-sized amount of gel or cream on your finger and apply evenly on the desired areas.
- Avoid applying it to your eyes, nostrils, and other sensitive areas.
- Do not touch your face for 20 minutes; allow your skin to absorb it.
- After 20 minutes, apply other skincare products.
Retin-A cream for wrinkles
One study suggests that tretinoin may be effective at improving the health of sun-damaged skin, enhancing texture and tone. Moreover, tretinoin’s anti-aging properties may reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and dark spots. Tretinoin is also perfect for reducing inflammation associated with acne. You can use it to clear existing acne and reduce the severity of acne breakouts. However, Retin-A might cause retinol burn, characterized by irritation, dry skin, excessive redness, and flaking. Some natural ingredients might help to relieve these symptoms. For example, jojoba oil can hydrate dry skin, whereas aloe vera treats irritation and redness. Coconut oil is great for flaking skin.
These natural ingredients are combined with retinol in Maryann Retinol Cream to provide all the benefits with minimum side effects.
