The skin is the body's largest organ - I don't believe that it can suddenly "wear out". If you do happen to over exfoliate your skin, it becomes irritated and sore - so the obvious thing to do is to stop and let the skin heal. I couldn't imagine using a product for such an extended length of time that you literally wore your skin away - it would be agony and doesn't make sense.
Just think of the skin on the soles of your feet. Natives who walk barefoot all the time develop thick skin on their soles - the skin on the bottom of their feet doesn't get worn away. Similarly, the hands of people who do manual labour develop calluses. So, in other words, the skin reacts to all the abrasion by becoming thicker, not thinner. Therefore, I pay no attention to the supposed Hayflick effect. However, that's my own totally unscientific and uninformed opinion!
In addition, any peeling of the skin caused by the initial use of Retin-A will stop after a period of time as the skin gradually adjusts to the drug. Peeling should not be an ongoing thing. |
