I'm turning 34 in Febuary I've spent too much time in the sun and in tanning beds. I'm paying the price now I have fucked up skin. I have two really bad sunspots on my upper cheek close to my eyes.
I've tried hydroquinine and several other prescription meds nothing seems to work. I also get a lot of ingrown hairs. Its annoying I feel uncomfortable, self conscious. Looks have always been important too me.
Doctor said skin might be too dark for lazer. Anyone ever have sun spots treated successfully?
People who suffer really bad acne especially on the face I don't know how they make it through the day. When I get a bad break out I feel miserable.
Retin A (Tretinoin)- THE REAL THING, not the watered down stuff found OTC. It must be used properly to avoid adverse reactions. It can take a couple of weeks to acclimate Tretinoin has proven itself to reduce, reverse, and prevent wrinkles. (The younger a person starts using it, meaning in their teens and twenties, the more benefits they receive, but it’s never too late to start using it!)
Tretinoin helps lighten and prevent age spots.
Tretinoin builds collagen to thicken and increase the structural strength of treated skin.
Tretinoin helps to decrease a person’s risk of developing skin cancer.
Skin just looks better and younger when people use Tretinoin.
Always apply it to your skin at bedtime. Never use it during the day due to increased sun sensitivity.
Never
layer tretinoin with benzoyl peroxide and don’t apply it when you also have acid products on your skin like vitamin C, glycolic acid or salicylic acid. It is ok to use Retin A at night and have a different regime for day.
Always wait at least 15-30 minutes after cleansing and applying any other skin care products to your skin before you apply Tretinoin.
Do not apply in the orbital area, only crows feet.
Moisturize
Always wear sunscreen
