Tretinoin (Retin A®, Avita®) and other retinoids can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. This is due to exfoliation (shedding) of top layers of skin. Sensitivity decreases over several months. Strict sun avoidance is not mandatory, although excessive exposure should be avoided. There are many noncomedogenic (non-acne-producing) moisturizers with sunscreens (both UVA and UVB protection is best) that should be applied daily, regardless of retinoid use.

UV-A and UV-B rays have been known to cause intense damage to a person's eyes. Frequent exposure to damaging UV rays may be a factor of wet macular degeneration. We suggest shielding your eyes from excess sun exposure by wearing sunglasses that block out most UV rays. Check out our UV Rays Blocking Sunglasses! See similar questions...

To reach the old land, first go to the tiny beach southwest of Loho. Get on your boat and get it in between the beach and the tiny strip of land next to some mountains. See similar questions...

We are generally against the physician-based practice of combining Retin-A with minoxidil. The reason some doctors do this is to get around the law that prevents a doctor, who sells medication in his office, from marking up the price of an individual medication more than 10%. The doctor, however, has the ability to charge anything that he/she wants if he makes his own formulation. See similar questions...

Air movement is an essential component of growing Paphs, but in cultivation (whether greenhouse, under lights, or on windowsills) it is rare that fans blow air directly onto the plants. Rather, air is circulated nearby and around the plants to assist in transpiration and translocation (the plants' ability to absorb water and nutrients through root uptake), and to allow the plants cells to remain relatively balanced and thus grow freely.
