Rep Power: 0 | Hi Fungirlz, hope your having a wonderful day, I have a question that may need some board exposure. What are the dangers of using Retin a products and using Tan units/sun, can this be done in moderate to very guarded regimines? or should there be NO exposure??, any benefits to doing both ? I do not do this but there may be some who do..just checking |

Rep Power: 23 | they do not mix , R-A makes you very sunsensitive. I beleive that the use of these and other sunsenstizing drugs leads to skin cancer...its not the sun that is the problem its the toxic reaction of the drugs response to uv light that is the problem. We need to have a look at sunsensitive drugs and how other safer drugs could replace them. We need better regulation of these harmful drugs. _________________ Tanning Booths, for people that want only the very best. Fast, Comfortable, Dark Tanning and Hygienic.

Rep Power: 24 | Good Question Red Hots: Good answer Chipp.. Retin-A Gel, Liquid or Micro is usually prescribed for adults having Acne Vulgaris. You apply it sparingly to clean dry skin once a day at bedtime. Never ever use this product on eczema or on sunburned skin.. and it is advised to minimize your exposure to the sun, Uv light..and extream weather. I advise all patients on this product to use at least a 15 SPF on their face at all times, even under their make-up. The skin can be very exacerbated and irritated when using this product. Anyone using this should ask their MD. If they can tan in short increments. Chris _________________ Chris, Cub Reporter Fair and Balanced News..
