Retin A, Renova, Afirm & other mild Vitamin A Acid treatments

Retin A has been used for over 40 years to treat blackheads, whiteheads and acne. It was discovered that these could also help wrinkles and photoaging and fine liver spots. Our doctors and staff are excited to discuss how your skin could benefit by using retinoids such as Afirm. By using graded concentrations of the Afirm, we can help unclog your pores and help your skin look as youthful and vigorous as possible.  This is part of a comprehensive skin care program that may include sunscreens, alpha hydroxy acid creams in the morning and the retinoids at night. Remember, just use a pea-sized drop. Load up on the forehead and nose, and apply a lesser amount on the cheeks. Apply away from, not toward the eyes, crease of the nose and the angle of the lips. Take it slow and easy! When you are used to it, apply more generously.

Apply a pea size application to the forehead and nose with a lesser amount to the cheeks. Apply away from the eyes, the angle of the nose and the corners of the lips. Take it slow and easy. When you are used to it, apply more generously. If you get slightly irritated - use a good moisturizer such as DML Facial or Aquanil HC lotion. Apply the Afirm every other night and then resume every night as tolerated. Start with the 1X, and when that tube is exhausted you can graduate to the 2X and finally the 3X.
