A member asked:
How long does it typically take to see results when using retin-a for wrinkle smoothing/reduction? is it safe to use longterm as long as proper skin care routine, suncreen use, etc. are maintained?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Totally safe to use longterm, through your 40's, 50's ,60's, 70's and even 80's !. Often takes upto 4-6 months, if using Retin-A nightly, for facial changes as you mention to become apparent . Keep up the good work.
