A member asked:

I'm seeing doc for prescription of retin-a for forehead lines. what is the lowest % and is that what i should start off with? and safe for eye area?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wrong question: What kind of lines? You may be very disappointed by result. Lowest concentration is all over the cosmetic market as RA (retinoic acid). If you have deep furrows you need a different approach.
