Retin A
I swear by Retin A but its a bitch to use. You have to find your own way of using it - but it really keeps wrinkles at bay. Why just the other night some poor child asked me if I was as old as 28 bwahahahaha. I suggested he make his next stop the eye doctor, but generally people think I'm about 10 yrs younger than I am, so it must be doing something.

Getting my doctor to write me an RX for Retin-A is without a doubt, the best thing I have ever done for my skin!!! I will NEVER not use it!
I used Retin A in several forms with no success...it caused me to peel and break out more than to offer any benefits UNITL recently.My Dr. gave me "Tazorac" in a low dose gel and I'm using it a couple of times a week with GREAT results!!! It's very true: you have to tweak the dosage,the form,and where you apply...it can truly work wonders when you get it right though so it's worth a bit of patience.:)
I have used Retin A for about 25 years. First started when I had some bad cystic acne. I'm 59 and my skin looks like that of a 40 year old. There is no substitution for Retin A. It doesn't do as much as botox or chemical peels, but it really does keep the wrinkles and lines at bay. Make sure that you use sun screen as it does make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Can't recommend it enough!!!!
I was given this to use for acne, and my very weird doctor told me in a giant-meteor-headed-for-earth-serious voice that I will use this every day till I die. Imagine my surprise and delight when I discovered what had banished my pimples so wondrously was also waging a major battle against the oncoming wrinkles too! That crazy kook of a dermatologist was right! I am glad tazorac worked for others on here, but it didn't do a darn thing for me.
