Hi everyone

I am new to the group. ijust got the book this week and it was so useful. I am 40 y. And having senistive skin
lately I have been reading about retin A . I do not have acne but I heard it reduces wrinkles and I have wrinkles under my eye when I smile. So does anyone used it and helped w the wrinkles. Also does anyone know if it has any side effects.   I woulg greatly appreciate any feedback

Hello and welcome to the forum,

I have used an over the counter retinol produce which is quite effective called Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-wrinkle Intensive Night Cream.  It significantly reduced fine lines around my eyes and had no side effects.  It left my skin feeling smooth, supple and even toned.  You could start with that if you have never used a retinol product before.  Dr. B in her book describes retinol in several of the chapters so look through them for the explanations.     

It would be helpful if you would post your scores so that others in the forum can help you.  You will find that there are many knowledgeable people here in the forum that will help you find the products for your skin.  To some extent, it is trial and error because even within the various skintypes, everyone is different and will react to products differently.   

Hope this helps!
