I ask because I still don't know, it never makes me peel at the highest percent, and it sucks to not know as I cannot afford inflated American prices! (This is not meant as an insult except perhaps against horrible pharmaceutical companies, of course.) And I am Canadian by birth anyway.....considering getting a relative to ship some to me but I prefer to find out how real this stupid allday stuff is and NO ONE KNOWS.

It has Retinol Vitamin A in it, WITHOUT the side effects of Retin A. For those of you actually using Retin A, here is my routine... Wash with Lady Soma Somatique Face Wash - then apply the Lady Soma Renewal Serum. In the morning I wash again with this Lady Soma Wash. The Lady Soma stuff also seems to be helping with the intial breakout I got from the Retin A (have not had acne in years! was put on the Retin A for sun damage & fine lines).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12494551271380862605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-25731446117081226082013-09-02T10:34:20.675+03:002013-09-02T10:34:20.675+03:00Surgeons often recommend fat removal via a cheek r...

Love it. Now, here is my bit: HOW in the world can I know if MY tretinoin, ordered from the same Alldaychemist.com place as you, is as good as the way more expensive one I was getting here in the US? How do you know? You never backed up your claims.....I am really needing to know this as I am currently doing my own human guinea pig experiment on the left side of my face, to compare....I wish we had a lab or something! On real self.com the docs told me NOT to get it overseas as it would not be validated and could even be harmful, but the fact is, I don't trust pharm companies here much more than the ones there. So....anyone know?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-48490214977145258862011-05-29T13:02:35.827+03:002011-05-29T13:02:35.827+03:00JLL,

I definitely observe some of the positive effects mentioned here (tighter, more even skin). But,I also experience a rather unpleasant side-effect. My face starts looking very red, almost tomato-like (so not the healthy rosy glow) :-). It's even more obvious since my neck, where I didn't use the gel, looks pale like I normally do in winter. Any advise on this? Will this go away? If it persists I'll have to stop using the product, it looks kinda ridiculous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-11356759182560594002010-12-06T02:20:59.116+02:002010-12-06T02:20:59.116+02:00I do wonder how much of a confounding factor (if a...I do wonder how much of a confounding factor (if any) the actual abrasion of putting the stuff on was?<br /><br />http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2095177<br /><br />Regardless, cool beans JLL!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-69758521614023272362010-11-10T08:59:11.138+02:002010-11-10T08:59:11.138+02:00What do you think about this JLL?

it's a pleasure to read your writing....Hi JLL -<br />it's a pleasure to read your writing.<br /><br />I myself have been on a tretinoin (Retin-A) prescription of .05% for about 2 months. I have noticed similar as you; more even skin tone, slight reduction if fine lines, though not much for my horizontal forehead lines (for that, even more recently, I had a botox treatment), and some skin tightening with sensitivity around my cheekbones and eyes. The lines under my eyes have noticeably reduced in visibility. <br />In my opinion, this is a decent site on cosmetic anti-aging, which I visit: http://www.realself.com/Retin-A/Renova/reviews.<br /><br />And to reply to your last reply to me on dietary restriction, yes, it seems like our best bet is <i>calorie</i> restriction, and to look towards other strategies for longevity instead of fussing over macronutrient ratios.
