    Retin is said to be the best treatment on wrinkles. I read somewhere earlier that retin A was initially intoriduced as a reatment for wrinkles. Later on it was also annouced to be effective on acne.. People who've used this medication so far have approved it for both..

    How are your experiences with this medication?

    Well I am not old enough to have wrinkles ;)

    But my mother's friends use retin A. I'll ask them if it had nay effect on their wrinkles.

    It may work good on wrinkles but one should also take caution in applying it around the eye area. As it contains benzoyl preoxide, which tends to make the skin dryer.. you may see wrinkles if you apply it too close to your eyes, but thats only due to dryness and will fade away in a day or two.

    yep retin-A is good for wrinkles but if you want a natural alternative. you can use topical-vitamin-C instead. check out this site for more information

    Yes Retin-a is very good for wrinkles however it can dry your skin out as mentioned above.

    Therefore it should only be applied in small amounts.
