| Hi everyone, I have been using Retin A cream 0.025% for over a year now. I have no issues whatsoever with it. I was wondering if I should move up to 0.050%. Would there be any benefit to doing this? I think I have read in a few places that moving up in strength does not necessarily produce better results. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you. |

| My take on it is if it's doing what you want stay where you are. Moving up in strength might introduce problems like irritation. |

| I would agree with Josh. If you try a stronger formula and it irritates your skin, you may find that your skin becomes sensitized and that you aren't able to tolerate the retinoid you are currently successfully using. Retin A is a pretty strong skincare product with the real potential to cause unacceptable irritation. (I know this from sad personal experience.) So I would leave well enough alone. |

| 0.050% is optimum for anti-aging purposes, so as long as your skin cooperates, that's worth shooting for. |
