Retin-A in conjunction with Vbeam

[Guest guest]

I had my first laser treatment about two and a half weeks ago, and

while I was there, the doctor tried to put me on Retin-A, saying that

they've had good results with rosacea when Retin-A is used in

conjunction with the laser. I told her I'd think about it, but I

hadn't really heard any great things about Retin-A and rosacea on

this site or anywhere else, and I wanted to do some research before I

tried any new treatments.

Has anyone used it before? Did you find that it was effective? My

feeling is that my face is red enough as it is (hence the laser

treatments), and anything that would irritate my skin further would

add insult to injury. Any thoughts?

Also, if you've used it, did the results last after you stopped the

treatment or did your skin revert to its normal rosacea self?

(As of now, I'm planning to complete my series of laser treatments

and see how that comes out. If I'm unhappy enough a year or two from

now to put up with red, flaking skin for six months with the hopes of

an improved complexion afterward, I might consider it.)

Thanks so much!

Hi

I got rosacea after using Retin-A, 6 years ago.

Maybe it was not from that, because I got the Ocular cea also.

While using Retin -A , I put on a face toner

and it got so red.

Be careful with Retin -A
