Up to you: If your skin is nearly perfect, you may not need any retin-a. But you can use it to prevent future wrinkles. You should at least wear sunscreen whenever you are outdoors.

Never too early...: ...To start preventative maintenance. Of all the skin care products, sunscreen and Retin-A are the two allstars.
