If youre getting prescription strength RETIN A, I would ask your dermatologist and I would be doubly sure to wear a lot of sunscreen. But you could also go to the PTR website and ask them. But remember Amazon is not an authorized retailer of PTR. But I do know PTR sells a retinol product. If you go to QVC, youll see he has a 6 piece kit that includes these pads. The pads usually sell for $45 and the QVC kit with 5 other products is only $44 and QVC has a 30 day guarantee so you can always send it back if youre not satisfied.

I would refer that question to your retin A prescriber. It may depend on your skin type, sensitivity to either product, strength of the retin A and other factors.

After reading up on tons of products and the combination of ingredients I have seen used, I would think that you could. They are all vitamin products/derivatives..... I mix this retinol gel with a Juice Beauty antioxidant serum and get good results.

You don't want sunscreen with vitamin A in it, it may contribute to tumor growth when applied to skin and exposed to sunlight. Retinol skin products should only be used at night.

Hi, I am not too sure of your skin type, but I would start with just doing a sample patch first, leaving it one the least amount of time as suggested on the box. If you don't suffer any problems, then you can work your way up to using it once a week. I would do mine at night to allow for any redness to subside by morning. Also remember to check against the other beauty products in your regime. Some of the different acids should not be mixed or they could severely irritate your skin. Please do your homework before using with retinols and other acidic products! Good luck:)

this product does not contain sun protection. it is really good though and worthy of discussion with your Doctor, I do not think he would blame you for seeking another less expensive solution,listen to bothy ides and decide. My doctor told me to add a good cream to the retin A and viola no red and peel. I like Clinique moisture surge with the retin A. Don't be shy go for it!! This is good product and I suspect your doctor will agree

Maybe, you can try. If you have sensitive skin, I would not try it. Putting a lot of product on your face could irritate the skin and not help with any problems at all. If you have not experienced a product with retinol in it, I'd say try one product first then build with another one after you get used to it.

Yes you can. This product was rated number one by Consumer Reports for reducing wrinkles. I have used it for years and I am 43 with few wrinkles that give away my age. I would highly recommend this product and I don't waste my money on special eye creams. This stuff works on all areas of my face.

no, I only use it at night. It is not good to use a retinol product if you are going to be in the sun.

I use the serum at night and after that dries, I use Reviva Lab's Elastin & DMAE Night Cream as my moisturizer. I suppose you could use a Retinol Cream with it, I just haven't. Just experiment like I do.

Yes. I do. Just be careful to use just a little on the neck. Your skin on the neck is very thin and sensitive. Within the first week of use on the neck I had developed a very red rash and my skin started to itch and peel. I used CeraVe night cream for a week before the skin on my neck was clear and normal again. Then I used the retinol on my neck once every three days for two weeks and started using it every other night. I am still using the retinol on my face and neck every other day and will continue to do so for three or four weeks before using every night.

I wouldn't do that. I would reverse it (the C in the a.m. and the retinol (which tretoinin is) at night, never ever together, they cancel each other out. I would not roll daily even with the smallest needles, like the .25 mm size, a few times per week at most, if your goal is product penetration.

this power is easily mixed,unfortunatly I had to stop using it after a few weeks,it was to harsh on my face,much like retin A is. But it is a good product for skin that can tolerate it. joann

I always follow with a moisturizer after a few minutes. Otherwise I find this too drying. If you use a serum, you can use the serum in the morning and the retinol before bed.

I bought this because I used Tretinoin cream which is retin A, as a moisturizer, but clenziderm was recommended for me because it won't clog my pores. So I can't really say in your case. My skin would get flakes and peel like a very mild sunburn with Rentin A if I used too much of it.

It really am not sure what you mean. I use this on my dog's skin. He gets a rash in the springtime when he lies in the grass. Maybe you need to talk to your doctor if you mean for your skin, I believe one can use retin A or Tretinoin for fine lines, that is only by prescription.

I do not see why not....what I really like about this product is that you Can use and should use it after cleansing your face. I truly like the way it refreshes your face.
