This is completely unrealistic. |
Exactly!!! Having clear unwrinkled skin does contribute a lot to looking young, but it's not everything. There are tons of other factors involved. A 38 year old will never be confused with a 23 year old.
I spent some time on the beach this summer and yes there were women there with some awesome looking bodies. But I could tell which was young and which was older even from distance and even from behind. The older women were still beautiful, but I could tell they were older.... I am 38 years old, I am in fantastic physical shape, I am strong, flexible and have great endurance. My energy level is through the roof and I have a happy positive disposition. Apart from a few lines around my eyes when I smile, I do not have any wrinkles. Younger men find me attractive, but they never confuse me with any of their 20 something year old friends.
Retin A helps a lot, but it is not a miracle. If you have easy access to it, it is not causing you irritation and it is not a financial burden, then keep using it. You will see the benefits of using it in the long run, but Salome at the age of 24 you will not turn back time and look like you are 16, nor should you want to. |

Younger than what??
I've used retin a for several years. I did not all of a sudden look younger. I look younger than peers of the same age, but you won't notice anything in my before/afters other than less fine lines that wouldn't be noticeable in a photo anyway.
Other than that, I certainly don't want to look like I am 16! Anyone that says they do at 30 is dillusional or has an advanced case of optimism thąt I'd like to share! |
