[|Human|] Hi dr.I m 29 years old female with sensitive,mixed and hairy skin.I hve heard tretinoin creams are helpful in anti aging .I have recently purchased a tube retino-A WITH 0.025% tretinoin bt little afraid of using it as I hve read that it makes skin very dry often resulting in peeling and prolonged use can thin skin.please help can I use it with my night cream as an anti aging product.
[|AI|]  Hi Pisa, To prevent aging multiple options are available like sunscreens, retinoids(retinol creams or retinoid), vitamin C based creams, Glycolic acid creams, peptides, estrogen based creams, chemical peels, lasers, microdermabrasion, Botox and fillers. These can be used alone or in combination as per the skins' requirement. In your case, you may begin with Theseus a good sunscreen daily Taking vitamin C and antioxidant supplements would be beneficial. Vitamin c helps in collagen synthesis and antioxidants prevents free radical damages a good moisturizer suitable to your skin type to keep your skin well HY Chat Doctor.  There is no harm in using retinoid(vitamin A derivative). Retinoid induces collagen production and helps in shedding of dead layers of skin thus helping in reducing fine lines. However, it may irritate your skin. Use it in small quantities in night and do not rub it over face. Use of sunscreen in morning is mandatory with retinoids as it makes skin sensitive to sun. Initially in the beginning use it for two hours and as the skin sensitivity decreases you may apply it overnight. As you are still 29, you may also use a night cream with vitamin A, C,E to prevent aging. The chances of irritation with such creams would be less than compared to retinoid. Hope that answers your query. Take care.
