Cosmetic Tips n Trix

So here's the first one- I was very ( pleasantly) surprised to learn that strong Retin A gel and cream ( strongest is .10 for the cream .05 for the gel ) are now covered by health insurance plans !

Apparently someone ( smartly) decided that since they also help erase underlying sun damage and sun spots as well as wrinkles that Retin A is helpful in preventing melanoma or skin cancer. Very much an issue for the generations that grew up before sunscreen ( like my Parents).

Retin A also reduces scars so can be substituted for scar gel which is also quite expensive. A tube of Retin-A though used to cost $125.00 out of pocket.
