Hi all --- any feedback would really be appreciated (as my Doc has been away): 
So i'll be turning 30. I consulted w/a Plastic Surgeon b/c I'm wanting to keep young looking skin as i age (dont we all!); He recommended these 3 products to 'maintain what i've got':
1-- sunscreen
2-- aha product
3-- retin-a
*** now, here's my problem, i've been using the retin-a all over my face (including around my eyes) for over a month (and i've gotten pretty much thru the ugly irritation/peeling period). Problem, tho, is that i've developed wrinkles around my eyes
 . I'm not sure if it's b/c of dry skin or what --- I dont know if this is normal when adjusting to the REtin-A. I'm questioning whether to continue using the Retin-A around my eyes b/c my purpose in using it to begin with is to PREVENT wrinkles...????
Thanks!

I have been using retin a products for years, i don't apply it around my eyes though. One time I did and boy did underneath my eyes look terrible, it made all the lines look that much worse. Now I use botox around my eyes for wrinkles. I love that stuff!
