A member asked:

How long before getting a facial or chemical peel should i stop using renin-a? i am using retin-a for acne but would like to get a facial. do i need to be off of retin-a for any amount of time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It : It depends what type of facial or chemical peel you are talking about, but in general i typically recommend that patients stop Retin-A a few days prior to their chemical peel. Again, it depends on the depth and type of peel so i would discuss with your dermatologist. Read more about the vitalize chemical peels i find to be very helpful at the link below. I hope that helps!
