I do apply it under my eyes now but I haven't alays done that. Retin-A has a tendancy to dry out your skin so that's why you work up to the strength that you can tollerate. I've been doing this for 20 years and guess I will always use it!
How often do you apply it? Is it every night? I've been thinking about this recently too with a few of the wrinkles I've been seeing around my eyes and forehead. I remember back about 13 years ago in my senior yr of high school, my skin was horrible with acne and so I was prescribed it but it was extremely harsh and burned my skin badly. Sorry for so many questions, just curious. Also, is it the plain Retin A or the Retin A micro?
