    » Q: Who shouldn’t use a retinoid?
    A: A retinoid is completely out of the question for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Retinoids might be inappropriate for individuals with ultra-sensitive skin or eczema.
    » Q: How much can I expect to pay for a retinoid?
    A: According to The New York Times, a large-size generic retinoid will cost about $80, while a brand name is around $150. However, your insurance may cover retinoids. Also, remember that a little does go a long way. One tube should last many months. If it doesn’t, you’re applying too much and potentially irritating your skin in the process.
    » Q: Which retinoid products are best for various skin types?
    A: Though your dermatologist will prescribe the best formula for you after evaluating your skin, Prevention notes that Renova is typically prescribed for dry skin because of its emollient base; Avage is the strongest of the retinoid family and is best for severely sun-damaged skin; and Differin is good for sensitive skin.
    » Q: Can chemical peels be performed more than once?
    A: It depends on the peel’s strength. Mild or medium peels may require repeat treatments every few months to achieve the best results. However, “in general, a person cannot have repeated deep phenol peels,” warns Essig.
