I have fine lines on my forehead, I am 34, would retin a erase these horrid lines?
or at least improve them Smile.
Thanks.

Bumping for you. It really depends just how fine those lines are.

It might soften them but it would freshen the skin and make it look younger, it makes skin thinner but increases collagen in the area.

It's certainly getting rid of my sunspots, 7 is now two.

You need a SPF 30 sunscreen with full UVA protection everyday and you will break out in spots for a few weeks.

Hmmm, it might. Dynamic lines, like 11s, probably need Botox, fine lines would be helped. It takes time but it definitely will help.

I've tried Retin A many times, and finally can tolerate it after reading a tip here: wash your face and wait 10 to 30 mins before applying Retin A.

Like Fluffy says, excellent for patchy pigmentation and sunspots. Far better than any cosmetic cream. Use at least SPF 30 during the day.
