New photostabilizers, such as ethylhexyl methoxycrylene, can protect it from photodegradation and keep daily wear products with retinoids in them highly effective.

Tania, Retin-A was actually originally developed as an anti-acne cream, and later it was found to have superb anti-aging benefits. With that said, I have heard of women without acne and non-sensitive skin using the 0.1% cream for the anti-aging benefits, yes. As always, please talk to your dermatologist or primary care physician about this, as I am still a student. Since it is available only by prescription anyway, you might as well. :-) Hope that this helps! Sincerely, Nicki Dear J. Tania,

Tania Sun, 22 Feb 2009 19:57:40 +0000 http://www.futurederm.com/?p=27#comment-2196 I love your website, Nicki. It is full of excellent thought and research. I am obsessed with any and all articles on Retin-A. I have been using the .05% cream for more than a year now, to battle wrinkles on my 40-something skin. I like the stuff! I really want to try the most potent formula, the .1% cream. Would this higher strength produce even better skin care results? I have read that most docs prescribe the .05% cream for wrinkles, and the .1% cream for acne. Why is that? Does that mean the .1% cream would not give me any greater skin than the .05% does? Want to know your thoughts about this. Thanks I love your website, Nicki. It is full of excellent thought and research.

With the bigger bottles, I don't know if efficacy lasts 6 months or not...honestly, I'm just a student, but my best guess would be that the faster it is used and the cooler and darker the storage, the better. Hope this helps! -Nicki Hi Amy,

I also take great care of it but think the retin a has played a big role. Also...question on Ferulic bottles: do you think the efficacy really lasts 6 mos. as long as you dont leave the bottle open more than necessary to get the product out? do we think the sample sizes are better than big bottle? i take my big bottle and pour half into another older bottle so i'm not exposing all the serum to air every time i open it. other ideas? thanks! i love this website. great info!!! Testimonial on Retin A and question on Ferulic

I have used retin a for 20 years and can vouch for effectiveness: my skin looks ten years younger. I also take great care of it but think the retin a has played a big role.

Also…question on Ferulic bottles: do you think the efficacy really lasts 6 mos. as long as you dont leave the bottle open more than necessary to get the product out? do we think the sample sizes are better than big bottle?

i take my big bottle and pour half into another older bottle so i’m not exposing all the serum to air every time i open it.
