| Retin A actually thickens the skin, Nimue. It thins the outer layers, and thickens the inner layers. |

It's called Dermal-K. 
It's developed to remove spider veins, but on a whim I tried it on my hands and it worked. |

But, and there's always a but.... Because the hand has no fat or muscle to speak of, you will never experience the thickining of skin with RA that you would on your face.. And your hands will be much more susceptible to UV damage.. 
To keep hands young looking it's all about protecting them from the environment;
- Gloves in cold climates all winter
- Waterproof sunscreen everyday
- Rubber gloves when cleaning everything all the time
- Greasy, gooey high lipid creams frequently..(try this under the rubber gloves and see how the hot water makes it penetrate..  )
- If you use an LED, don't forget your hands.. A nice 1 to 8 part hyaluronic acid and water serum applied prior, will give you a nice plumping...(used consistently, it's cumulative!)
Here's a picture for what it's worth! Keep in mind, I'll be 59 in a few weeks, and I've been a nurse for 21 years..(My poor hands have been through the mill and back.. )
