| I read recently that because Retin A stimulates collagen, it may actually give a bit of a lift to the lower face. I've only used RA for two months. Any long-term users noticed a slight lift or tightening? It sounds too good to be true. |

I think "slight" may be accurate in some cases. For me..it really improved my overall skin. It really works in making skin just look and behave younger.
I think most would say it improves skin tone and fights and reverses wrinkling more than anything. |

Yes, after 4/12 months on RA, I had Slight tightening of the jaw line. Slight, but noticeable in photos. I agree with hotdocgirl, that it will help the most with skin tone, and fine wrinkles. |

Riley, if you have some lift that you can actually see in photos, that's pretty remarkable.  |

Yes, I was very happy with that little "side effect" from the RA!  |

I noticed a slight tightening of skin from RA use but not any lift of the lower face.
I have had the same effect from RA as hotdocgirl described. |

I would say the same, I have used RA for several years and I find it's kept my skin in better over all condition. I really didn't have any sag starting it in my 30's and now at 46 I haven't had any show up yet.  |

| if it produces more collagen, tightens skin I think you should get a subtle lift. |

| I've not noticed any lifting, but I've used it so long and aged 20+ years in the process. I have the typical loss of elasticity that comes with aging, inspite of RA use...but who knows, maybe it would be much worse without it. |
