I would suggest that you start with a light one, from the brand ROC for example and one your skin is used to it, you can bump it to to Av?ne Retrinal 0.05% and later 0.1%. This is the strongest non prescription vitamin A product. I am using myself the 0.05% right now and it is amazing and non drying.

I forgot to say, don't apply it everyday at first. Every second or third should be fine. Put it on before bed on clean moist skin, but not on lips and let it sit 20 to 30 minutes before putting anything on top. Best to avoid putting anything on top if your skin tolerates.

I started with a cream from ROC that is now discontinued but it was very similar to this. I had to use it every couple of nights and buffer it with a moisturizer to avoid getting burnt, but within one week my skin was used to it already! Let us know about your results. Retinol faded my forehead + smile lines and made my eye lines disappear completely.

That's a great one to start with! It's a bit more gentle and after using it up you could probably switch to the regular ROC night cream. That's actually what I did and it worked well for me:)
