In reply to Lauraleelowrey. Lauraleelowrey, I hear ya! going to the DR is a pain. But sadly cosmeceuticals aren't THAT effective yet. You can try something like The Ordinary Granactiv Retinoid 5% or Indeed Retinol Reface, which contain two forms of Vitamin A. But Retin A isn't allowed in cosmeceuticals yet.

In reply to Mom In Nevada. Mom In Nevada, there's not an easy answer to this question. The first step is to identify your skin type and your skin concerns and then look for ingredients that address them. Once you've found them, you have to learn how to use them. Feel free to shoot me an email if you need more help.

How do we choose the best product and how is the best way to add it to our daily anti aging routine?

In reply to Susan. Susan, I've never found such a high concentration of retinol in an OTC product. But, the answer depends on the claims the product makes. Does it claim to reduce wrinkles? Then, it's a drug. Does it claim to reduce the appearance of wrinkles? Then, it's a cosmetic. Crazy, I know. But, that's how it works.

Interesting, thank you. So Iif I had a cream that states 2.5% retinol, is that a cosmetic?
