This medicine was really easy to spread, wasn't greasy at all, and covered well. I saw my rough skin get better within a week, and now that I've used it for more than a month I can see overall improvement of my wrinkles and uneven coloration. I didn't get any redness or peeling, although I was warned that that might happen.

I have been using Refissa for 3 years with excellent results around my eye area, staying away from the immediate area of inner and outer eye. Because of the rich emollient, I only use it around my eyes, as I have combination skin and it was too rich for my face.The emollient provides the moisture that regular Retin didn't provide. I have had no adverse affects, and am happy to say that people always ask how is it that I have wrinkle free eyes at age 63!

I use this for wrinkling, discoloration and acne. In the first couple weeks of using it, it made the skin on my face peel and flake pretty bad. The peeling and flaking went away within a few days. I have been using Refissa for over a year. Besides for the initial reaction I am very pleased with the results it has given me.

My skin is dry which causes the Refissa to be very difficult to spread. Principal reason for using it is to reduce a dermatological scar.
