Retin-A products are typically applied at night, as the vitamin-A compounds they contain are photosensitive and will make your skin much more sensitive to sunlight. Applying the product at night also gives it a chance to absorb into the skin fully.  If you do decide to apply Retin-A products during the daytime, make sure you apply a sunblock afterward and keep out of direct sunlight as much as possible. Also double-check that your chosen product won't break down when exposed to sunlight; while most newer formulas stay intact, many older formulas do not.  When you begin Retin-A treatment, your doctor will probably recommend that you only apply it every two to three nights. This will give your skin a chance to adjust to the cream and help to avoid irritation. Once your skin has adjusted, you can build up to using it every night. Apply the Retin-A to dry skin, about 20 minutes after thoroughly cleansing your face. Retin-A is a very strong treatment, so it imperative that you use it correctly and only apply it in very small amounts.  At most, a pea-sized amount of cream should be used on the face, and a little more if applying to the neck. A good technique is to dab the cream on the areas most affected by wrinkles, age spots, etc., then wipe any remaining cream over the rest of the face. Many people become scared of using Retin-A because they start applying the cream too heavily and experience negative side effects such as dryness, irritation, stinging and acne outbreaks. However, these effects can be greatly reduced if the cream is applied in moderation. Due to the drying effects of Retin-A treatments, it is imperative that you always wear a hydrating moisturizer, day and night.  At night, wait 20 minutes for the Retin-A to be fully absorbed into the skin, then apply your moisturizer. In the morning, wash your face thoroughly before applying a second moisturizer containing a high SPF. Sometimes, it can be hard to spread the recommended pea-sized amount of Retin-A to all of the areas of the face where it's needed. A good solution to this problem is to mix the Retin-A with your nightly moisturizer before applying it to the face. This way, the Retin-A will be dispersed evenly all over the face. Due to the diluting effects of the moisturizer it should also be less irritating. If your skin starts to feel really dry and your regular moisturizer doesn't seem to be enough, try rubbing some extra virgin olive oil into your skin before bed. The oil contains fatty acids which are extremely moisturizing for your skin, in addition to being very gentle. Most people will experience some dryness and irritation after beginning Retin-A treatments, and a small number will experience acne breakouts. Don't worry, as these reactions are completely normal. As long as you are using the treatment correctly, any irritation should subside within a few weeks.  Things that will lessen irritation include making sure that you gradually build up to using the cream every night, using only the recommended pea-sized amount, and moisturizing frequently. You should also be sure to use a very mild, non-irritating cleanser when washing your face. Choose something very natural, with no added colors or fragrance. Also try to use a gentle face scrub once a week to slough off any dead skin. If your skin becomes very irritated and sensitive, cut back on the Retin-A applications or stop using it altogether until your skin has recovered slightly. Then, you can slowly build back up to using it again. It will take some skin types longer to adjust the the Retin-A than others. The length of time it takes for Retin-A treatments to produce noticeable results will vary from person to person.  Some people will see improvement in as little as one week, whereas for others it might take as long as eight weeks. Don't give up however - Retin-A has produced proven positive results and is possibly the most effective anti-wrinkle cream available. Beyond Retin-A, the only more effective thing you can do to combat wrinkles is to get Botox or Dysport treatments, injectable fillers, or to consider surgical options.
