Is it safe to use tretinoin cream.01% long-term? have used for 10 years...great skin. also curious whether it counts toward my daily vitamin a, as i have uncommonly dense bones...+3 at 53 years old?

Yes: Yes it is safe to use retin-a. You are getting your vitamin a from your diet. Don't forget to keep up the sun protection.

Retin A (tretinoin): There is no time limit for use of tretinoin cream. We believe that it is very healthy for the skin for long term use. It does not offer you any internal vitamin a.
