What Are The Side Effects Of Retinyl?

Hi there, I had rhinoplasty surgery donw to my nose that was very successfull, about 8 months later on a spring day i happen to be sitting in my backyard, it was a glorious day and i thought i ll enjoy 15minutes of sunshine. I was reading a magazine which had a sample of face cream in it containing a... without thinking I applied it to the T section of my face, as the days went past i started to notice those area became darker and more visible. Over time I have tried laser removal at a professional clinic (5 visits in total) couldn t see it improving so i stopped, microdermibrasions help for a short while but doesn t get rid of it. Creams just seem to fad the problem but as soon as I stop using them it comes back and it is quite expensive. I have mediteranien skin, not sure what to do at this point to get rid of this problem. Can you help me ? Kind Regards, Anonymous

Hello,

Which form your using it retinyl palmitate or retinyl acetate? Yes, it may cause allergy, rash or pigmentation. Few patients may cause liver toxicity. So stop it and consult with your dermatologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
