I will be talking with my Dr. in the next week or two so I will ask him about it.

Let me know what you doc says. I know there are lots of affective treatments now for Rosecea. If she doesn't put you on Retin-A, he will put you on something else that works.

If I were you, I would do some research so when you go to the doctor you will be able to tell him what is wrong with you and then you and your doc can work out treatment options together. Here is a great site I found on WebMD that will give you so much info on Rosecea and the treatment options:

Retin A was too harsh for me. It dried out my skin to much and made it red and blotchy.. I know a lot of people that love it, though.

It you use it, you have got to be sure to keep out of the sun!

What strength did you use? It will make your face sensitive at first. You have to start out using it once a week, then once every 5 days, then once every 3 days, and work your way up to every night or every other night. I use it about every other night. And yes, you do have to stay out of the sun. But what's the point of using something to correct your skin if you are going to be in the sun?

Well, I don't use lotion or creams on my hands like I should. It's funny actually cause I use moisturizer on my face, put lotion all over my legs all year long, but hands - I always forget!! I keep lotion on my desk at work (never use it), keep lotion in my purse (never use it), and have hand lotion at home (hardly ever use it). What I do use, though, is the Satin Hands from Mary Kay - LOVE, LOVE the extra emolliant night cream!!! I use this about once a week.

Oh yes, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Mary Kay Satin Hands!!!!! This is my FAVORITE hand lotion of ALL TIME!

i have always used vaseline hand and nails but right now am using gold bond ultimate healing intensive skin therapy in a tube-it works way better than vaseline but i also use plain old olive oil and put my hands in a pair of comfy gloves for thirty minutes. my mom always says your hands show your true age.

My hands don't really have sun spots but they are starting to wrinkle. More so than I like.

Honestly ice Queen, my hands look much older than I am. At least I think they do. I am 34 ands till get carded when I buy a bottle of wine. If you were to look at my hands you would think I was much older. I just hate the thought of getting older. The skin on my hands is loose and not tight anymore.Does anyone know if drinking more water will help. If it does I will start drinking water like a fish. LOL

I tried the prescription Retin-A and it was way too strong even when blending it with an lotion recommended by the doctor. My face pealed & flaked so badly it was embarassing. I looked like my face was recovering from a bad sunburn. By the way, he also had me using it on the back of my hands.

I have also bought the weaker Retin-A in Mexico. I have a couple of tubes of it, but it is also very strong, even when I mix it with moisturizer, it burns my face.

Rebecca, how do you use it?

Where we live we can get it pretty easily. Someone we know is usually going shopping in Mexico, although it is getting more dangerous now. It's been a couple of years since I visited Progresso.
