Good questions let’s start at the beginning and some comments: A short series of home 10% glycolic peels since you live in Ireland are probably fine but if you lived...
Sadly, the answer is no. Retinol and Vit A cousin creams (Retin A, Renova, tretinoin, etc.) are still the gold standard for repair of the sun damaged skin and will...
The generic name for all of these is tretinoin and they are in the retinoid (Vitamin A cousin) category. The difference is in the base in which they are put...
Okay – let’s put this one to rest! Retin A and other retinoids do NOT thin your skin over time. They DO thin slightly the outer dead layer (the stratum...

That’s an interesting conjecture, isn’t it? There have been no studies done on that particular question. Anecdotally, I have a fairly large group of patients between 40-70 (skin cancer age)...
One of the best investments in your skin is your daily skincare. Why? Because you can prevent many problems with blotchy skin color, lack of glow, texture, some types of acne, and fine lines with good skincare products. You can also correct some of these problems with effective skincare products. Great skincare is often more expensive because quality ingredients are expensive. Some companies spend on research/development which benefits all of us and adds to the cost. Are they worth it? In general - yes! I have handpicked some of what I consider to be the best skin care products, and offer them for sale on SkinTour's shop. This is based on my team and I's testing and research at our clinic. Many of the products are in my own regimen. What could be better than using skin care products a dermatologist uses?!
