Hi - I have been researching the same thing. Skinceuticals do a retinol 0.5 and 1.0 night cream - it has very good reviews on the Makeup Alley site. I have also heard of something called Green Cream which you can get in different strengths.

yea.. I researched Green Cream and it is not exactly Retin-A as it has a lot og alchohol in it and that makes the impact of it not very sustainable..

 

has anyone every tried Alpha hydrox? http://www.drugstore.com/alpha-hydrox-retinol-resq/qxp45944?tab=1

 

I'm also trying to get rid of this scar I have left on my nose, from wearing glasses for so long.. any ideas it Retin-A would help?

For a non-prescription Retin-A or Retinol product, there are a few alternatives which will provide results as Retinol (Vitamin A) is a common evening treatment. Skinceuticals does have a .5 and 1.0% Retinol, but I heard this product had issues with the pump applicator not functioning properly. This product is outrageously overly priced at $65. The best alternative Retinol I've come across is cosmetic skin solutions Retinol 1.0 Creme. This product is a perfect example of what a retinol product should contain as my dermatologist is now displaying it in their private practice. It can be found at [Removed]
