It is so long since my skin was a first time user of this product but reading my post back I still had a bit of puffiness two and a half weeks later, and thought I had aged slightly! But don't be too alarmed, it may not take so long for your skin to recover, especially if you are younger than me as your skin will have more resilience.<br />Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16061118895694909457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-36959796488505074022016-02-07T15:42:58.916+00:002016-02-07T15:42:58.916+00:00So grateful of your post as I too am suffering wit...So grateful of your post as I too am suffering with a reaction to my eyes.

To answer your and Tara's question (and confirm Undina and I do use the same prescription retinol): yearly visits to the dermatologist are recommended in the US, perhaps because our general practitioners are less likely to do more "specialized" things like skin checks (for Nataliehttp://www.anotherperfumeblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-49548604122335935302013-11-04T12:32:10.665+00:002013-11-04T12:32:10.665+00:00Thanks, B - I will definitely pursue her books as ...Thanks, B - I will definitely pursue her books as well as her products - I only wish I had got around to a more considered skincare regime a lot sooner!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-56388844876256020642013-11-04T12:30:51.940+00:002013-11-04T12:30:51.940+00:00Hi Lindaloo,
