Is micronized tretinoin the same as tretinoin microsphere? Are they both photostable?

Can you explain how someone can safely shift their routine from retinoid to acids for exfoliating or vice versa. What I know is retinoids and exfolation acids should not be used together . So how should we shift from one to another without getting any issues. can people with extreme dry skin also use retinoids. Can we use retinoids for hands and foot also.( I have very skin skin and extreme wrinkles there). Do retinoids work on stretch marks . If not what can use for thinned skin due to stretch marks.

In reply to Bekki. Vitamin A impacts cell proliferation and differentiation, so the theory is that it could alter the development of the fetus. For this to happen, topical vitamin A would need to be absorbed into the blood stream, and if a product has a high enough concentration to absorb into the blood stream it would be classified as a medical drug. That said, studies on pregnant women are either few or nonexistent, because expectant mothers aren’t willing to test this theory. So, the prevailing advice is to err on the side of caution and avoid vitamin A while pregnant or breastfeeding.

Thanks for your post Michelle. Speaking of retinoid myths, would you be able to address the online reports of fat/volume loss on tretinoin in a future post? They got me a bit worried but I’m not a scientist so don’t know what to think. Is it possible? I’ve noticed some volume loss in my face in the last months and I keep wondering if it’s related… I would appreciate if you could share your opinion on this!

Thank you once again for this myth busting blog post, Michelle. I use my Tretinoin three times a week and my skin never looked better. It helped with my acne and any attempt to increase it only increased dryness and Irritation, so three times a week it is!

In reply to Fran. I'm using the same brand at 0.025%. The other one 0.05% has no added fragrance. If you are afraid of more iritation you can use first a cream like LRP B5 and then you apply the retirides. In case you are more sensitive you can use from Bioderma Matricium. I never ever found a product like this witch improve the redness, inflammation and wrinkles.

what about pregnancy and Tretinoin or Retinols in general? A lot of people say not to use, why is that? And is this throughout the whole term?
