There are products, available only through a doctor, that can provide dramatic and visible changes to your skin.  Of course, don’t expect miracles.

Retinoids (Renova, Avage), or Vitamin A deritives are the only proven topical prescription remedy for wrinkles.  With the wrinkle improvement come some side effects.  They can be inherently irritating.  New users can expect their skin to be red, itchy, and peeling for a few weeks.  Eventually the irritation clears up but some people experience persistent dry skin.  Retinoid-treated skin also gets red more quickly in the sun.
