Hi, sorry if this was posted before.. but I just used Retin A .05 % for a couple of nights, now light peeling , but my question was, how long does it take to see the results of better skin? I only did it around my smile lines (only little wrinkle business goin' on right now) lol.. thanks ya'll.

For results, it depends on how your skin reacts to the drug.

For the average individual, results are not seen for weeks, maybe even months of use.

Patience, is key, when using retinoids.

The best way I could put it is that it comes close to the POSITIVE effects of Retin-A without the peeling, redness, and all its side effects. I purchased the big size in a 1 ounce spray cap bottle. I spray three times - forehead, right side of face and left side and use my finger to smooth it out. It instantly tightens the skin, leaves it incredibly mattee as if you have no oils on your face but it DOESNT feel dry. Its a skin cell communicator serum, it heals, nourishes, corrects, protects, and hydrates. This is a potent serum that helps retain the youthful elasticity to the skin and keeps it looking fresh throughout the day. Fawnie introduced me to it and she has a similar review of it.

I've used it for 3 total within past week. I have the peeling.. Hate it but know I have to deal. I am going at it slow. I have acne that is surfacing. The worst part for me is my pores. They appear to be cleaning themselves out.
I have oilyness still throughout the day. I would like to use the product described above to help my skin stay matte during the day. But then again, afraid if it's matte you will see all my peeling skin.

Yes, Angel Hair, you said you wanted Extreme Beauty when someone commented on DSHAH's thread that he already has clear and good skin and then I said "I think he wants XTREME BEAUTY" and you responded, "well LNL, he is not the only one!!!!" and so I said, well dont complain because these products are needed to attain XTREME BEAUTY, which you said you wanted. SHEESH!!!
